Arterial pulse waveform and PWV [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cardiovascular diseases has been on a rising trend in recent years and there are many risk factors including diet and age. A person’s age and the stiffness of his arterial walls are two of the most established cardiovascular risk factors.

3.1 AORTIC STIFFNESS IN MIDDLE AGED WOMEN IS HERITABLE AND RELATES TO BLOOD PRESSURE AND AORTIC CALCIFICATION: A TWIN STUDY

open access: yesArtery Research, 2009
Background: Pulse wave velocity (PWV), measure of aortic stiffness, is predictive of cardiovascular events. PWV is strongly related to age and blood pressure but its relation to other risk factors and presence of calcification is unclear.

Impaired Windkessel function and proximal aortic stiffness: Linking vascular ageing to cognitive decline

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central arterial stiffening, particularly of the proximal aorta, is increasingly recognised as a pivotal contributor to cardiovascular disease, dementia, and mild cognitive impairment. Loss of Windkessel function amplifies pulsatile pressure, reduces diastolic perfusion and accelerates microvascular damage in the brain.

The effects of uninterrupted and interrupted sitting on blood pressure and arterial stiffness in patients with established coronary heart disease

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Sedentary behaviour is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. In healthy adults, prolonged uninterrupted sitting acutely increases blood pressure (BP) and aortic stiffness; however, these effects can be mitigated with light physical activity interruptions.

Association of Office and 24-Hour Ambulatory Measurement of Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity with Target Organ Damage in Hypertension

open access: yesPulse
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the association of office arterial stiffness and 24 h arterial stiffness as measured by pulse wave velocity (PWV) with subclinical target organ damage (TOD) in a hypertensive cohort.

Identification of the individual cardiac contraction threshold during high‐frame‐rate stress echocardiography

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The clinical assessment of cardiovascular function during exercise using stress echocardiography is essential for accurate cardiac diagnosis. However, normal limitations of cardiac deformation responses to increasing physical exertion remain poorly understood.

High-Precision All-Weather FY-4A PWV Reconstruction Models Using GPT3 and ERA5 Data

open access: yesIEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
All-weather, high-resolution precipitable water vapor (PWV) is beneficial for weather monitoring. Although FY-4A PWV provides high spatiotemporal resolution, it is affected by weather conditions, resulting in extensive data gaps. To obtain all-weather FY-

2.5 AORTIC-BRACHIAL STIFFNESS MISMATCH AND MORTALITY IN DIALYSIS PATIENTS

open access: yesArtery Research, 2013
Objective. We have shown that regression of brachial stiffness is inversely related to aortic stiffness in dialysis patients. In this study, we sequentially examine the impact of aortic stiffness, brachial stiffness and aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch

The acute and chronic effects of local aerobic exercise on cardiovascular physiology

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exercise training has beneficial effects for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effects of exercise training have typically been studied in the form of whole‐body exercise training, partly driven by the assumption that larger effects of exercise training can be achieved by involving more and larger muscle groups.
