Plasma Lipoprotein(a) Levels as Determinants of Arterial Stiffening in Hypertension
Biomedicines, 2021 Previous studies have shown that plasma lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) plays an important role in the development of hypertensive organ damage. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship of Lp(a) with markers of arterial stiffening in ...

Diastolic Augmentation Index Improves Augmentation Index in Assessing Arterial Stiffness
2016 Computing in Cardiology Conference (CinC), 2016 Arterial stiffness is an important risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and is increasingly used in clinical practice. Radial augmentation index (AI) is used in assessing arterial stiffness, but is not only dependent on pulse wave velocity (PWV), but also on several other factors like the reflect distance of pulse wave and height.

An Index for Quantitative Assessment of Lip Augmentation [PDF]
Aesthetic Surgery Journal, 2010 Lip dimensions and their relation to the whole face have been discussed mainly in the dental literature. There have been few attempts to scientifically measure the degree of lip augmentation, regardless of method.The authors describe a Lip Index that will allow reliable, quantitative analysis of the human lip complex, which is necessary to assess the ...

Augmentation index in heart disease [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2005 New techniques for the evaluation of specific components of blood pressure waveforms have been shown to have broad applications in cardiology. One of the more useful parameters of pressure wave analysis is the augmentation index (AI), which measures the interaction of the forward pressure wave with reflected waves from the distal circulation.

Bounds for the augmented Zagreb index
Theory and Applications of Graphs, 2023 Summary: The augmented Zagreb index (AZI for short) of a graph \(G\), introduced by \textit{B. Furtula} et al. [J. Math. Chem. 48, No. 2, 370--380 (2010; Zbl 1196.92050)] is defined as AZI\((G)=\sum_{v_iv_j\in E(G)}\left(\frac{d(v_i)d(v_j)}{d(v_i)+d(v_j)-2}\right)^3\), where \(E(G)\) is the edge set of \(G\), and \(d(v_i)\) denotes the degree of the ...

Extracellular vesicles and insulin‐mediated vascular function in metabolic syndrome
Physiological Reports, 2023 Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) raises cardiovascular disease risk. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have emerged as important mediators of insulin sensitivity, although few studies on vascular function exist in humans.

Role of ratio-based metrics in cardiology
Российский кардиологический журнал, 2020 In cardiovascular studies, two related parameters that determine the same physical variable are often recorded. Interpretation of the calculated indicators presented in the form of ratios and differences is difficult, since they can be associated with ...

Zigzagged Augmentation Index in Diabetes
Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2009 Although the patients with diabetic nephropathy suffered high cardiovascular risk, augmentation index (AI) in diabetic nephropathy has been poorly characterized. Cross-sectional studies were performed on 26 diabetic and 27 nondiabetic nephropathic patients. Home blood pressure was examined.
