Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity and Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity: Similarities and Discrepancies [PDF]
The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between carotid-femoral (cfPWV) and aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) and to compare their modulators and association with coronary artery disease (CAD). We studied 107 consecutive patients (68 men) with a mean age of 60.49+/-8.31 years who had stable angina and had been referred for ...

Urbanization as a risk factor for aortic stiffness in a cohort in India. [PDF]
Urbanization is associated with higher prevalence of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Aortic stiffness, as measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is a validated predictor of cardiovascular disease. Our objective was to determine the association

Hemodialysis Parameters and Pulse Wave Velocity
Abstract Aim: The study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of ultrafiltration on the mechanical properties of the aorta using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV) before and after hemodialysis (HD). Patients and Methods: This study included 80 patients who were on a ...

The Effect of an Angiotensin Receptor Blocker on Arterial Stiffness in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients with Hypertension [PDF]
BackgroundHypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus are major risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This study analyzed the changes in central aortic waveforms and pulse wave velocity as well as related parameters after treatment with valsartan, an ...

Parametric Frequency Conversion of Short Optical Pulses Controlled by a CW Background [PDF]
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.

Ambulatory Pulse Wave Velocity Monitoring [PDF]
See related article, pp 148–157 The role of office and ambulatory 24-hour measurement of brachial blood pressure (BP) on the assessment and prediction of cardiovascular risk and mortality has been well established. In addition, the independent predictive value of office measurement of carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a surrogate of ...

Superluminal optical pulse propagation in nonlinear coherent media [PDF]
The propagation of light-pulse with negative group-velocity in a nonlinear medium is studied theoretically. We show that the necessary conditions for these effects to be observable are realized in a three-level $\Lambda$-system interacting with a ...
