Acute Changes in Carotid-Femoral Pulse-Wave Velocity Are Tracked by Heart-Femoral Pulse-Wave Velocity [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Background: Carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (cfPWV) is the reference standard measure of central arterial stiffness. However, it requires assessment of the carotid artery, which is technically challenging, and subject-level factors, including carotid

Venous pulse wave velocity [PDF]
Vascular Pharmacology, 2020 Central venous pressure and volume status are relevant parameters for the characterization of the patient's haemodynamic condition and for the management of fluid therapy however, their invasive assessment is affected by various risks and complications while non-invasive approaches provide only imprecise and subjective indications.

Parametric Frequency Conversion of Short Optical Pulses Controlled by a CW Background [PDF]
, 2007 We predict that parametric sum-frequency generation of an ultra-short pulse may result from the mixing of an ultra-short optical pulse with a quasi-continuous wave control. We analytically show that the intensity, time duration and group velocity of the generated idler pulse may be controlled in a stable manner by adjusting the intensity level of the ...
