Noninvasive cardiac output measurements are inaccurate in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation [PDF]
Background Noninvasive cardiac output (CO) measured using ClearSight™ eliminates the need for intra-arterial catheter insertion. The purpose of this study was to examine the accuracy of non-invasive CO measurement in patients with severe aortic stenosis (

Maternal Low Volume Circulation Relates to Normotensive and Preeclamptic Fetal Growth Restriction
This narrative review summarizes current evidence on the association between maternal low volume circulation and poor fetal growth. Though much work has been devoted to the study of cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance, a low intravascular ...

The effect of different dosages of progesterone suppositories on uterine-fetal vascular resistance in women at risk of premature delivery and its comparison with the control group [PDF]
Introduction: Despite the widespread use of progesterone in pregnancy, there is limited information on its effect on uterine-placental blood circulation and especially on the fetal blood circulation system in the second half of pregnancy.

Parathyroid hormone may play a role in the pathophysiology of primary hypertension
Parathyroid hormone has been related with the risk of hypertension, but the matter remains controversial. We examined the association of parathyroid hormone with central blood pressure and its determinants in 622 normotensive or never-treated ...

Descending Aorta Blood Flow Characteristics before the Development of Necrotizing Enterocolitis in Preterm Neonates [PDF]
Purpose To investigate the hemodynamic risk factors for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), we analyzed the characteristics of descending aorta (DA) blood flow in preterm neonates, who later developed NEC.
