Background: Hypertension (HTN) is the single greatest cardiovascular risk factor worldwide.
HTN management is usually guided by brachial cuff blood pressure (BP), but questions …

The optimal performance of the cardiovascular system, as well as the break-down of this
performance with disease, both involve complex biomechanical interactions between the …

Boundary conditions (BCs) are an essential part in computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
simulations of blood flow in large arteries. Although several studies have investigated the …

Background Biomass smoke at higher concentrations is associated with respiratory
symptoms and, after years of exposure, increased risk of respiratory disorders in adults, but …

Central aortic systolic pressure (CASP) can be estimated via filtering of the peripheral pulse
wave (PPW) following calibration to brachial blood pressure. Recent studies suggest PPW …

While for years clinicians have used cuff pressure to assess patients' cardiovascular risk,
recent evidences has shown that aortic pressure, or more specifically aortic systolic and …

Passive compliance plays an important role in robot pick-and-place manipulation where
large interaction force will be produced in response to small misalignments. In this paper …

Objective To determine the effects of yoga practice on subclinical cardiovascular measures,
risk factors and neuro-endocrine pathways in patients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation …

BACKGROUND Central blood pressure (BP) can be estimated noninvasively by analyzing
brachial artery waveforms. In this study, our aim was to assess the validity of a brachial cuff …

Dietary inorganic nitrate in beetroot can act as a source of nitric oxide and has been
reported to lower brachial blood pressure (BP). This study examined the effect of inorganic …
