Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An epi‐intraneural interface is developed through in silico optimization and a novel tridimensional microfabrication pipeline. The device integrates penetrating and epineural contacts on a flexible substrate. Mechanical, electrochemical, and in vivo testing in rat and pig reveal robust implantation, low‐threshold activation, and site‐dependent ...

Evaluation of different metrics as an index for the assessment of arterial stiffness
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2018 Elevated intravascular pressure is a contributing factor to increased arterial stiffness, and is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Assessment of arterial stiffness is of importance in evaluating cardiovascular risk.

Arterial Stiffness and Coronary Artery Disease
EMJ Cardiology, 2016 Although there have been marked improvements in both diagnostic and therapeutic interventions over several decades, coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Intensive modification of classic risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidaemia, and cigarette smoking has significantly reduced the ...

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves
Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Ethnicity and Arterial Stiffness in Brazil [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2011 The impact of increased central arterial stiffness as a predictor of morbidity and mortality, independently of other cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, has been established. The main aim of the present work was to investigate the association of ethnicity on arterial stiffness in different ethnic groups from the Brazilian population.A total of 1,427 ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Small‐diameter vascular grafts with compliance tunable by design are fabricated via melt electrowriting. By controlling the winding angle of intertwined helical fibers, grafts with compliances matching those of human vessels, from veins to arteries, are realized. This holds the potential of avoiding a compliance mismatch, which has been identified as a

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in the Elderly.
Vascular health and risk management, 2020 The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between adipokines and arterial stiffness in a group of 85 elderly subjects and the role of leptin and adiponectin on subclinical vascular damage, defined by a PWV>10 m/s.In each subject, we evaluated anthropometry, body composition by DXA (fat mass, fat mass%, lean mass), metabolic variables ...
