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

Measures included quantification of injury severity (New Injury Severity Score (NISS)), visceral fat area (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), arterial stiffness (heart rate-adjusted central ...

Women’s brachial and central blood pressure and pulse pressure, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and augmentation index, and their 48-hour personal exposures to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) and ...

Introduction: The link between arterial stiffness, measured by estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV), and outcomes following endovascular treatment (EVT) is unclear. Hypothesis: This study aimed to ...

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 ...

RPP reactivity was calculated as the maximum RPP during stress minus the minimum RPP at rest. The PAT (Itamar‐Medical, Israel) device was used to measure digital arterial pulse wave amplitude ...

The most widely used metrics of arterial stiffness are those that measure arterial stiffening over a vessel length by quantifying the pulse wave velocity (PWV). Indirect central PWV measures, such as ...

Hypertension prevalence increases with age. Age and high blood pressure are the two main determinants of arterial stiffness. In elderly hypertensives, large arteries stiffen and systolic and pulse ...

One of the questions I struggle with regularly is one of when to switch from replacing fluid to starting vasopressors. It was easier when I was in paramedic school; you almost never needed to.

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 ...

Interpretation of the arterial pressure waveform is a much more complicated task in the IAB-pumped patient. Clinicians must exercise meticulous interpretive skills when analyzing and quantifying ...
