Augmentation Index in Patients with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm: A Matched Case-Control Study [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) may be associated with complications such as rupture and dissection, which can lead to a fatal outcome. Increased central arterial stiffness has been proposed to be present in patients with TAA compared to unmatched ...

Central Pulse Wave Velocity and Augmentation Index Are Repeatable and Reproducible Measures of Arterial Function [PDF]

Health Science Reports
Background and Aims Arterial function (specifically arterial stiffness) is an important cardiovascular risk factor. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Alx) are established indicators of arterial function.

Diastolic Augmentation Index Improves Radial Augmentation Index in Assessing Arterial Stiffness [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2017
Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular events. Radial augmentation index (AI r ) can be more conveniently measured compared with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV).

Augmentation index as an early marker of in-hospital mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke [PDF]

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2019
The aim of the present study was to estimate the relationship between arterial stiffness, expressed in terms of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx), with stroke severity and outcome.

Cerebral Augmentation Effect Induced by External Counterpulsation Is Not Related to Impaired Dynamic Cerebral Autoregulation in Ischemic Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Background and PurposeDynamic cerebral autoregulation is impaired after ischemic stroke. External counterpulsation (ECP) augments the cerebral blood flow of patients with ischemic stroke by elevation of blood pressure (BP).

Different circadian patterns of arterial stiffness are responsible for increased cardiovascular mortality in hemodialyzed patients

Physiological Reports, 2021
We hypothesized that volume changes during 48‐h are associated with different circadian patterns of arterial stiffness on non‐dialysis day compared to dialysis day and that the night‐time increase of arterial stiffness is associated with higher mortality.

The effect of isometric exercise training on arterial stiffness: A randomized crossover controlled study

Physiological Reports, 2023
Isometric exercise training (IET) is an effective intervention for the management of resting blood pressure (BP). However, the effects of IET on arterial stiffness remain largely unknown.
