Using Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity to Associate Arterial Stiffness with Cardiovascular Risks

open access: yes, 2011
Background and aims: This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ( baPWV) and conventional cardiovascular risk factors.

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Comparison of arterial stiffness indices measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis

open access: yesBlood Pressure, 2019
Objective: Arterial stiffness indices measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis have been widely studied in different populations. Only a few small studies have been reported regarding these two measurement methods.

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

open access: yesPLoS 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

Pulse velocities in initially stressed arteries

open access: yesJournal of Biomechanics, 1988
In this short paper, treating the artery as a thick walled cylindrical shell and employing the large deformation theory, an analytical expression for the pulse wave speed is obtained and the effect of lumen pressure and the axial stretch on the wave speed is discussed.

Determination of wave speed and distensibility of flexible tubes using diameter and velocity

open access: yes, 2009
It is well accepted that wave speed is one of the key factors describing wave propagation in arteries. Local wave speed is directly related to the mechanical properties of the arterial wall and is widely used to determine the arterial distensibility ...

EDNRB‐dependent endothelin signaling reduces proliferation and promotes proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition in gliomas

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Glioma cells mainly express the endothelin receptor EDNRB, while EDNRA is restricted to a perivascular tumor subpopulation. Endothelin signaling reduces glioma cell proliferation while promoting migration and a proneural‐to‐mesenchymal transition associated with poor prognosis. This pathway activates Ca2+, K+, ERK, and STAT3 signalings and is regulated

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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Pulse Wave Velocity in Familial Combined Hyperlipidemia [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hypertension, 2007
In the present cross-sectional study we investigated whether familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCH) is associated with an increased arterial wall stiffness, and whether measures of arterial wall stiffness in FCH family members could contribute to cardiovascular risk stratification.Ninety-eight subjects with FCH and 230 unaffected relatives filled out a
