Urbanization as a risk factor for aortic stiffness in a cohort in India. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
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

Influence of Blood Compressibility on Pulse Wave Propagation Properties Based on Elastic Thin-Walled Tube Theory

Physical Activity and Health, 2023
Pulse wave carries abundant physiological and pathological data about the human body. Understanding the effect of blood compressibility on the transmission qualities of pulse waves is necessary to detect, cure, and prevent cardiovascular problems.

Accuracy of Pulse Wave Velocity Predicting Cardiovascular and All-Cause Mortality. A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2020
Increased arterial stiffness has been associated with an increased risk of developing cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an innovative and affordable measurement of arterial stiffness which may be an accessible ...

A learning-based image processing approach for pulse wave velocity estimation using spectrogram from peripheral pulse wave signals: An in silico study

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is considered a critical index to evaluate arterial stiffness. For this reason, estimating Carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is essential for diagnosing and analyzing different cardiovascular ...

Expert consensus document on the measurement of aortic stiffness in daily practice using carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity.

Journal of Hypertension, 2012
Stiffness of elastic arteries like the aorta predicts cardiovascular risk. By directly reflecting arterial stiffness, having the best predictive value for cardiovascular outcome and the ease of its measurement, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity is now ...

Hemodialysis Parameters and Pulse Wave Velocity

International Journal of Applied & Basic Medical Research, 2022
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 ...

Aortic pulse wave velocity improves cardiovascular event prediction: an individual participant meta-analysis of prospective observational data from 17,635 subjects

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
Objectives To determine whether aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) improves prediction of cardiovascular (CVD) events beyond conventional risk factors. Background Several studies have shown that aPWV may be a useful risk factor for predicting CVD but have

Pulse Wave Velocity in Postmenopausal Women [PDF]

Pulse, 2013
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and osteoporosis are major causes of morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women. The relationship between atherosclerosis and osteoporosis has been established by studies of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and biochemical pathways that seem to overlap in many places. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is one of the
