Homocysteine and Pulsatility Index of Cerebral Arteries [PDF]
Stroke, 2009 Background and Purpose— A pulsatility index (PI) represents vascular resistance distal to an examined artery. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate an association between plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) and PIs of the cerebral arteries in patients with ischemic stroke.

Low Aortic Pulsatility Index and Pulmonary Artery Pulsatility Index Are Associated With Increased Mortality in Patients With Dilated Cardiomyopathy Awaiting Heart Transplantation. [PDF]
Korean Circ JPatients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) tend to be accompanied by biventricular impairment. We hypothesized that the combination of the aortic pulsatility index (API) and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPI) could refine risk stratification in DCM.We studied 120 consecutive patients with advanced DCM who underwent right heart catheterization ...

The Impact of Aging on the Association Between Aortic Stiffness and Cerebral Pulsatility Index
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022 The central arteries dampen the pulsatile forces from myocardial contraction, limiting the pulsatility that reaches the cerebral vasculature, although there are limited data on this relationship with aging in humans.
