Uncoupling of the center-to-periphery arterial stiffness gradient and pulse pressure amplification in viral pneumonia infection
ObjectivesArterial stiffness is a common manifestation of viral pneumonia infections, including COVID-19. Nevertheless, the relationship between the...

Factors associated with arterial stiffness assessed by pulse pressure amplification in healthy children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study
BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that reducing pulse pressure amplification (PPA) plays an important role in pathogenesis and progression of...

Accuracy of cuff blood pressure and systolic blood pressure amplification
Automated cuff measured blood pressure (BP) is the global standard used for diagnosing hypertension, but there are concerns regarding the accuracy of...

Age and Sex Differences in the Contribution of Mean Arterial Pressure to Pulse Pressure Before Middle Age
IntroductionA lower ability to buffer pulse pressure (PP) in the face of increasing mean arterial pressure (MAP) may underlie the disproportionate...

Arterial stiffness indices, pulse wave velocity and central systolic blood pressure, are able to discriminate between obese and non-obese children
The objectives of this study were to verify, first, if arterial stiffness indices can discriminate between obese and healthy children. Second, to...

Evaluating daily profile of central aortic pressure and reflected pulse wave parameters in climacteric women
IntroductionStructural and functional changes of the vascular wall in women occur already at the very early stages of reproductive aging. An...

Impact of arterial location, pressure wave indicators, and measurement devices on arterial form factor and mean and central arterial pressure
Mean arterial pressure (MAP) is often estimated from cuff systolic (S) and diastolic (D) blood pressure (BP) using a fixed arterial form factor (FF,...
-
The Influence of Resting Heart Rate on Central Pulse Pressure is Age-Dependent
IntroductionLow resting heart rate (RHR) increases augmentation pressure (AP) and central pulse pressure (central PP) and decreases peripheral...

Physics Linkages Between Arterial Morphology, Pulse Wave Reflection and Peripheral Flow
BackgroundPrevious physics-based analyses of arterial morphology in relation to pulsatile pressure and flow, with pulse wave reflection, focused on...

Comparison between central and automated peripheral blood pressure measurement for early detection of kidney dysfunction in hypertensive patients
BackgroundThere is a close relationship between blood pressure levels and the risk of cardiovascular events, strokes, and kidney disease. For many...

A systematic review of invasive, high-fidelity pressure studies documenting the amplification of blood pressure from the aorta to the brachial and radial arteries
It is commonly accepted that systolic blood pressure (SBP) is significantly higher in the brachial/radial artery than in the aorta while mean (MBP)...

Viewpoint: The Case for Non-Invasive Central Aortic Pressure Monitoring in the Management of Hypertension
Elevated central aortic pressure indices (e.g., systolic pressure and pulse pressure) predict cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality in addition to...

Impact of social isolation during COVID-19 on anthropometric data, quality of life, baseline physical activity and aortic pulse wave parameters in children and adolescents in two independent samples
BackgroundThe social restrictions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the routine of children and adolescents, with important...
