Noninvasive determination of pulse-wave velocity in mice

American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 1997
Some transgenic mice have abnormal vascular function, but arterial geometry and dynamics are difficult to evaluate. To examine whether ultrasonic velocimetry could be used to determine arterial pulse-wave velocity (PWV) in mice, a custom-made 20-MHz pulsed Doppler instrument was used to obtain blood flow velocity signals from the aortic arch and the ...

Metabolic syndrome and arterial pulse wave velocity

Acta Cardiologica, 2010
The metabolic syndrome is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is important to examine the relation of the metabolic syndrome with the early stages of atherosclerosis. We sought to determine the impact of the metabolic syndrome, defined with International Diabetes Federation criteria, on arterial pulse wave velocity.Four hundred

Pulse wave velocity in patients with obesity and hypertension

American Heart Journal, 1986
Pulse wave velocity was measured in 27 obese and 25 nonobese patients with sustained essential hypertension. Pulse wave velocity was significantly increased in obese patients in comparison with nonobese patients. The result was independent of age, sex, and level of blood pressure. In the overall population, a significant positive correlation (r = 0.85;

Pulse Wave Velocity and Pulse Wave Analysis in Experimental Animals

2012
Until a few years ago, pulse wave velocity in experimental animals (mice, rats, rabbits, etc.) could only be measured by invasive methods. The carotid or femoral artery was surgically isolated and catheterized to assess intra-arterial pressure. The carotid and femoral signals were measured simultaneously, and the pulse wave transit time was then ...

Instruments for Pulse Wave Analysis and Measurement of Pulse Wave Velocity

2012
Over the last few years, a lot of new instruments for pulse wave analysis or measurement of pulse wave velocity have been launched onto the market. It seems that their main aim is to supply operator-independent devices, which can perform faster, while the accuracy of the measurement or the scientific soundness of the algorithms used are of secondary ...

Pulse Wave Velocity and Augmentation Index

2017
Pulse wave velocity is obtained from the transit time of pulse wave and the distance between two measuring sites. It is considered the “gold standard” for assessment of arterial elastance and recognized as one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
