The predictive value of vascular biomarkers such as pulse wave velocity (PWV), central
arterial pressure (CAP), and augmentation index (AIx), obtained through pulse wave …

Background Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, but the
underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are poorly understood. It was previously …

Cardiovascular mortality is the leading cause of death in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and
end-stage renal disease (ESRD). This can be explained in part by an increased and …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of arterial stiffness, is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We investigated the relationship of ambulatory …

OBJECTIVE Insulin increases glucose disposal in part by enhancing microvascular blood
flow (MBF) and substrate delivery to myocytes. Insulin's microvascular action is impaired …

In this article, we offer an artificial intelligence method to estimate the carotid-femoral Pulse
Wave Velocity (PWV) non-invasively from one uncalibrated carotid waveform measured by …

Low birth weight predisposes to the development of hypertension in middle-and high-
income countries. We examined the relation of early life length-for-age score (Z-score) on …

Background: Mortality in hemodialysis patients still remains unacceptably high. Enhanced
arterial stiffness is a known cardiovascular risk factor, and pulse wave velocity (PWV) has …

Aims. Cardiovascular diseases are the primary cause of premature morbidity and mortality in
early breast cancer patients after treatment with cardiotoxic chemotherapeutic agents …

The aims were to determine whether children's high peripheral blood pressure states (HBP)
are associated with increased central aortic blood pressure (BP) and to characterize …
