The reasons why fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio are similar using wave separation analysis [PDF]
Background and objectives Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) are the two most commonly used coronary indices of physiological stenosis severity based on pressure. To minimize the effect of wedge pressure (P wedge ), FFR

2.2 RE-REFLECTION OF BACKWARD PROPAGATING WAVES LEADS TO AMPLIFICATION OF THE FORWARD PRESSURE WAVE IN WAVE SEPARATION ANALYSIS [PDF]
Introduction: In wave separation analysis, the pressure wave is decomposed into a single forward and backward component, which actually compounds all forward and backward propagating waves.

Intrafamilial Aggregation and Heritability of Aortic Reflected (Backward) Waves Derived From Wave Separation Analysis. [PDF]
BACKGROUND Although aortic wave reflection may be inherited, the extent to which indexes of wave reflection derived from wave separation analysis (reflected (backward) wave index (RI) and pressure (Pb)) show intrafamilial aggregation and heritability is uncertain.

Wave‐Partition‐Governed Dual‐Site Spallation in Single Crystals [PDF]
The spall failure in shock‐loaded perfect single crystals reveals significant orientation dependent characteristics, yet the fundamental relationship between shock wave propagation anisotropy and fracture mechanisms remains unclear. Employing large‐scale

GLOFI – A methodology and toolbox for scale-separation of satellite observations for analysis of gravity waves [PDF]
The direct analysis of atmospheric gravity waves (GWs) in temperature observations is difficult since the much stronger signal of large-scale temperature perturbations such as planetary waves obscure the perturbations due to GWs.

Central pulsatile haemodynamics in COPD: a propensity score-matched evaluation of cohorts [PDF]
Background Cardiovascular risk is elevated in patients with COPD. Central haemodynamic measurements via wave separation analysis indicate cardiovascular risk independent of well-known limitations of peripheral blood pressure measurements, but have not ...
