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 ...

The biophysical role of hemodynamics in the pathogenesis of cerebral aneurysm formation and rupture.
Neurosurgical Focus, 2019 The pathogenesis of intracranial aneurysms remains complex and multifactorial. While vascular, genetic, and epidemiological factors play a role, nascent aneurysm formation is believed to be induced by hemodynamic forces. Hemodynamic stresses and vascular

Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty in a pregnant patient with pulmonary bioprosthetic valve stenosis
Revista Médica del Hospital General de México, 2022 The pulmonary valve’s anomalies can lead to the obstruction of the right ventricle’s outflow tract. This leads to the right ventricle’s pressure overload, dilation, hypertrophy and eventually his malfunction.
