Hypertensive emergencies and urgencies: a preliminary report of the ongoing Italian multicentric study ERIDANO
Hypertensive urgencies (HU) and hypertensive emergencies (HE) are challenges for the Emergency Department (ED). A prospective multicentre study is ongoing to characterize patients with acute hypertensive disor...

Multiscale mathematical modeling vs. the generalized transfer function approach for aortic pressure estimation: a comparison with invasive data
We aimed to evaluate the performance of a mathematical model and currently available non-invasive techniques (generalized transfer function (GTF) method and brachial pressure) in the estimation of aortic press...

Open AccessP27 Invasive Central Pulse Pressure is Related to Aortic Root Dilatation
Aortic root dilation is an established risk factor for aortic dissection. Despite the relations between aortic root remodeling, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and aortic blood pressure have been a...

Open AccessP136 Simulating Myocardial Oxygen Balance Changes Due to Anti-Hypertensive Drugs
Hypertension clinical treatment largely relies on different drugs. Some of these drugs are thought to exhibit specific protective functions in addition to those resulting from blood pressure reduction per se. ...

Evaluation of aortic stiffness by a new simplified 2D speckle tracking analysis
Arterial stiffness is a marker of cardiovascular damage and an independent predictor of major cardiovascular events, usually assessed via Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity (cfPWV). The aim of this study was ...

Open AccessP5.4 Central Pressure Appraisal: Clinical Validation of a Subject-Specific Mathematical Model
Increased blood pressure represents a major cardiovascular risk factor for western populations. Usually blood pressure is measured peripherally, but current evidence suggested that central blood pressure bette...

Arterial Stiffness
Current European guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension introduce the assessment of arterial stiffness by pulse wave velocity (PWV) as an index of hypertension-related cardiovascular target org...
