Background Central aortic pressures and waveform convey important information about
cardiovascular status, but direct measurements are invasive. Peripheral pressures can be …

Adequate personalized numerical simulation of hemodynamic indices in coronary arteries
requires accurate identification of the key parameters. Elastic properties of coronary vessels …

Routine preclinical blood pressure evaluation is an important risk assessment tool. Although
proximal aortic pressure is most relevant for key target organs, abdominal aortic pressures …

In this work, we discuss an algorithm that reliable and accurately identifies the prominent
points of the cardiac cycle: the systolic peak (SP), reflection point (RP), dicrotic notch,(DN) …

Objective: Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the best indicator of aortic viscoelastic
properties. Aim of this study is to investigate if invasively measured aortic PWV is accurately …

The pressure pulse is amplified between the aorta and peripheral sites. This study compares
two methods to estimate pressure pulse amplification (PPA) between the aorta and the …

Introduction Brachial cuff‐based methods are increasingly used to estimate aortic systolic
blood pressure (aoSBP). However, there are several unresolved issues. Aims to determine …

Everyday clinical cardiovascular evaluation is still largely based on brachial systolic and
diastolic pressures. However, several clinical studies have demonstrated the higher …

Background Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) enables the direct assessment of aortic
stiffness, which is an independent risk factor of cardiovascular (CV) events. The aim of this …

Objective: For ease of measurement, and the utility of ambulatory central aortic blood
pressure measurement, there has been a move toward brachial cuff-based devices for non …
