A coupling strategy for a 3D-1D model of the cardiovascular system to study the effects of pulse wave propagation on cardiac function [PDF]
The impact of increased stiffness and pulsatile load on the circulation and their influence on heart performance have been documented not only for cardiovascular events but also for ventricular dysfunctions. For this reason, computer models of cardiac electromechanics (EM) have to integrate effects of the circulatory system on heart function to be ...

Differences in ultrasound-derived arterial wall stiffness parameters and noninvasive blood pressure between Friesian horses and Warmblood horses [PDF]
Background: Aortic rupture is more common in Friesians compared to Warmbloods, which might be related to differences in arterial wall composition and, as such, arterial wall stiffness (AWS).

Metabolic Consequences of Rheumatoid Arthritis
Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may have metabolic disruption, which can contribute to adverse long‐term outcomes, for multiple reasons. Patients with RA appear to have a higher risk of sarcopenia, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and hypertension. Systemic inflammation in RA can cause a “lipid paradox,” with reduced low‐

Age-related changes in vascular structure and function Determinants and cardiovascular risk [PDF]
Arterial stiffness is one of the characteristics of vascular aging. Increases in pulse pressure, which re.ects an increase in the stiffness of the large arteries, are associated with elevated C-reactive protein levels.

Probing blood pressure and arterial stiffness noninvasively by guided axial waves [PDF]
The clinical and economic burden of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) poses a global challenge. Growing evidence suggests an early assessment of arterial stiffness can provide insights into the pathogenesis of CVDs. However, it remains difficult to quantitatively characterize the arterial stiffness in vivo.

An Assessment of the Potential for Standardizing Various Measures of Arterial Stiffness [PDF]
Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Different measures of arterial stiffness have been used to assess the impacts of exercise training interventions.

Role of Inflammation in the Pathogenesis of Arterial Stiffness [PDF]
Increased arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease independent from blood pressure. Recent studies have shed new light on the importance of inflammation on the pathogenesis of arterial stiffness.

Photoplethysmography for the Assessment of Arterial Stiffness
This review outlines the latest methods and innovations for assessing arterial stiffness, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, we present compelling evidence indicating a recent growth in research focused on assessing arterial stiffness using photoplethysmography (PPG) and propose PPG as a potential tool for assessing ...
