AI-Based Estimation of End-Systolic Elastance From Arm-Pressure and Systolic Time Intervals
Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence, 2021 Left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) is a major determinant of cardiac systolic function and ventricular-arterial interaction. Previous methods for the Ees estimation require the use of the echocardiographic ejection fraction (EF).

Validation of a Non-invasive Inverse Problem-Solving Method for Stroke Volume
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Stroke volume (SV) is a major biomarker of cardiac function, reflecting ventricular-vascular coupling. Despite this, hemodynamic monitoring and management seldomly includes assessments of SV and remains predominantly guided by brachial cuff blood ...

Quantification of the Phenomena Affecting Reflective Arterial Photoplethysmography
Bioengineering, 2023 Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a widely emerging method to assess vascular health in humans. The origins of the signal of reflective PPG on peripheral arteries have not been thoroughly investigated.

Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) measured by a new device: protocol for a validation study
BMJ Open, 2020 Introduction Cardio‐ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new marker of arterial stiffness (AS) that can assess vascular wall stiffness in the aorta, femoral artery and tibial artery. CAVI is less affected by blood pressure at the time of measurement than the

Surgical vs. transcatheter arotic valve replacement in patients over 75 years with aortic stenosis: sociodemographic profile, clinical characteristics, quality of life and functionality [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Background Aortic valve stenosis (AVS) affects 25% of the population over 65 years. At present, there is no curative medical treatment for AVS and therefore the surgical approach, consisting of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) or surgical ...
