Open Access3.2: Spectral Analysis of Carotid Distension Rate and R—R Interval (Spontaneous Baroreflex Activity) Predicts Coronary Heart Disease Risk in Patients with Moderate Chronic Kidney Disease and in Those with Normal Renal Function: The EPP3 Study
The classic technique to evaluate the spontaneous baroreflex is the spectral analysis of finger blood pressure and heart rate. However, baroreceptors respond to deformation and not to pressure per se and the r...

Open AccessP1.07: Carotid Function and Baroreceptor Sensitivity in Moderate Chronic Kidney Disease: The EPP3 Study
Short-term variation of blood pressure (BP) is largely controlled by autonomic function though the baroreflex. Carotid distension rate was recently introduced instead of BP to evaluate the carotid function and...

Open Access6.2 Large Artery Stiffness Assessment with Arteriograph Device
Large artery stiffness is recognized as a strong, independent marker of cardiovascular risk, mainly through aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV). Carotid stiffness (CS), directly measured from echo tracking is cor...
