Arterial Compliance in Essential Hypertension

Journal of Cardiovascular Pharmacology, 1985
Arterial compliance as evaluated by three different indices (pulse wave velocity, pulse pressure stroke volume, and an exponential analysis of the diastolic pressure decay) was found to be abnormal in patients with established essential hypertension and particularly in elderly hypertensive patients.

Arterial Wall Compliance in Diabetes

Diabetic Medicine, 1992
A non‐invasive Doppler ultrasound technique, based on the measurement of pulse wave velocity along the aorta, has been used to deduce aortic compliance in 25 Type 1 and 25 Type 2 diabetic patients. Thirteen of the Type 1 diabetic group had their compliance measured within 1 year of diabetes first being clinically diagnosed.

Decreased Compliance on Arterial Anastomoses

Swiss Surgery, 2000
The present study was undertaken to examine the cross-sectional vascular compliance at the anastomotic site. Methods and Material: We performed end-to-end anastomosis on the carotid artery of six pigs using continuous 6/0 polypropylene. Four carotid arteries were excised and mounted in a perfusion chamber while the remaining two were left in living ...

Dynamic compliance of arterial grafts

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1977
A cantilever transducer has been developed which allows measurements of diastolic diameter and diameter change in response to pulse pressure in dissected blood vessels during sterile procedures. Preliminary results indicate that it will detect subtle changes in wall elastic properties of arterial grafts at subtle changes in wall elastic properties of ...

Arterial compliance and endothelial function

Current Diabetes Reports, 2007
Decreased arterial compliance (increased stiffness) correlates with cardiovascular events, possibly due to increased cardiac afterload caused by more rapidly reflected pulse waves. Endothelium-derived mediators regulate vascular tone and structure, both of which can markedly influence arterial stiffness.

Arterial Compliance and Blood Pressure

Drugs, 1993
As a result of the dual function of arteries, the conduit and cushioning functions, arterial pressure has 2 components: the steady component, characterised by mean blood pressure, and the pulsatile component, characterised by pulse pressure. Arterial compliance mostly depends on arterial intrinsic elastic properties, and is a determinant of the ...

Arterial Compliance in Systolic Hypertension

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension. Part A: Theory and Practice, 1982
Arterial compliance as estimated by pulse wave velocity and the pulse pressure/stroke volume index was evaluated in 27 normotensive subjects, 21 patients with established, and 18 patients with systolic essential hypertension. Pulse wave velocity was elevated to the same degree in both hypertensive groups when compared to the normotensive controls.

Obesity and Arterial Compliance Alterations

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2010
Obesity is associated with increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, especially when excess body fat is distributed preferentially within the abdominal region. Obese subjects usually have increased arterial stiffness compared with non-obese subjects of similar age.

Noninvasive determination of arterial compliance

Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 1983
When the cuff pressure exerted on the upper arm is released from suprasystolic pressure to diastolic pressure, a group of changing pulse waves can be recorded by an experimental apparatus. Using pulse wave analysis, information on the volume change together with the pressure increments can be obtained, and then the arterial compliance index can be ...

Postsurgical Changes in Arterial Compliance

Archives of Surgery, 1984
Mismatch in elasticity between artery and graft, a possible contributing factor to graft failure, has traditionally been believed to be caused by the graft. Compliance of the artery and/or graft may change after surgery, resulting in a different compliance mismatch.
