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 ...

Specifically, the pulse pressure variation (PPV) derived from analysis of the arterial waveform, the stroke volume variation (SVV) derived from pulse contour analysis and the variation of the ...

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 ...

Pooled mean differences in arterial stiffness indices (carotid arterial β stiffness and pulse wave velocity (PWV)) between intervention and control groups were calculated using a random-effects model.
