This paper reviews arterial pressure waveforms and contrasts the differences in waveforms imposed by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. It explores questions regarding blood pressure ...

Body position can affect the accuracy of vital sign measurements that indicate arterial stiffness—a risk factor for heart ...

Balloon pumping every other heartbeat expands the arterial waveform to five reference points. The effect of vasopressor and vasodilator drugs can no longer be assessed via a simple two-point ...

Data from 185 reports of eight RCTs (193 participants) were included. Pooled mean differences in arterial stiffness indices (carotid arterial β stiffness and pulse wave velocity (PWV)) between ...

Objectives To measure and compare arterial stiffness and hemodynamic variables in resistance athletes, endurance athletes and controls, before and after moderate intensity exercise. Methods Central ...
