Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or
structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the …

Arterial pulse waves (PWs) such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals
contain a wealth of information on the cardiovascular (CV) system that can be exploited to …

Hypertension affects over a billion adults worldwide and is one of the leading causes of
premature death. 1 In younger children, most hypertension is secondary but primary …

Introduction The heart and arterial system are equally affected by arteriosclerosis/
atherosclerosis. There is a constant interaction between the left ventricular (LV) function and …

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the relative contributions
of elevated cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance to hypertension in children and …

Background Automated analysis of cardiovascular magnetic resonance images provides the
potential to assess aortic distensibility in large populations. The aim of this study was to …

Background The associations of time‐averaged cumulative blood pressure (BP) from midlife
to late life with microvasculature expressed as retinal vessel diameters is not well studied …

Abstract Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is a highly heritable disease and a major public health
burden worldwide. MetS diagnosis criteria is met by the simultaneous presence of any three …

Cuff-less blood pressure (BP) is estimated via the pulse wave velocity (PWV) between two
sensors located on the superficial artery of the human body, such as the index fingers …

Genetic studies of blood pressure (BP) traits to date have been performed on conventional
measures by brachial cuff sphygmomanometer for systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP …
