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,...

Central and peripheral blood pressures in relation to the triglyceride-glucose index in a Chinese population
BackgroundThe triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been proposed as a surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, the relationship between the...

Blood pressure, arterial waveform, and arterial stiffness during hemodialysis and their clinical implications in intradialytic hypotension
This study included 152 hemodialysis patients (mean age, 69 years; 34.2% female) and investigated serial changes in blood pressure (BP) and arterial...

Orthostatic blood pressure adaptations, aortic stiffness, and central hemodynamics in the general population: insights from the Malmö Offspring Study (MOS)
PurposeArterial stiffness is independently associated with orthostatic hypotension in older individuals. The relationship between orthostatic blood...

Patients with CKD Secondary to Glomerular Disorders have Lower Arterial Stiffness, as Compared to Hypertensive and Diabetic CKD
BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) manifested as reduced GFR and/or albuminuria, has been known to accelerate arterial stiffness and early...

Higher Body Mass Index is associated with increased arterial stiffness prior to target organ damage: a cross-sectional cohort study
BackgroundObesity is associated with several neurohumoral changes that play an essential role in organ damage. Increased arterial stiffness causes...

Cardiovascular remodeling as a result of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23)/Klotho imbalance in patients with CKD
BackgroundIn chronic kidney disease (CKD) cardiovascular remodeling (CVR) is very frequent compared with general population and, as suppose, may be...

Can Surrogate Markers Help Define Cardiovascular Disease in Youth?
Purpose of ReviewNon-invasive measurements such as arterial stiffness serve as proxy surrogates for detection of early atherosclerosis and ASCVD risk...

Sympathetic overactivity and nocturnal diuresis in obstructive sleep apnea alter the response to hypertension therapy
BackgroundObstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with high blood pressure that responds poorly to usual antihypertensive therapy.

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...

Brachial-cuff excess pressure is associated with carotid intima-media thickness among Australian children: a cross-sectional population study
Reservoir pressure parameters (i.e., reservoir pressure [RP] and excess pressure [XSP]) independently predict cardiovascular events in adults, but...

Effects of single and multiple sessions of lower body diastole-synchronized compressions using a pulsating pneumatic suit on endothelium function and metabolic parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes: two controlled cross-over studies
BackgroundEndothelium function is often impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that by improving endothelial function using...
