Due to the cyclic function of the human heart, pressure and flow in the circulation are
pulsatile rather than continuous. Addressing pulsatile haemodynamics starts with the most …

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) was one of the earliest studied echocardiographic
characteristics of the left ventricle. As the myriad of measurable metrics has multiplied over …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is directly related to arterial stiffness. Different methods for
the determination of PWV coexist. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the …

Cardiovascular events are the consequence of vascular damage at both the macro and
microcirculatory level. The relationship between large stiffening artery and microvascular …

Central (aortic) systolic blood pressure (cSBP) is the pressure seen by the heart, the brain,
and the kidneys. If properly measured, cSBP is closer associated with hypertension …

Background Cardiovascular (CV) diseases including heart failure are the leading causes of
morbidity, with age being the primary risk factor. The combination of age-related organic …

Background: Renal denervation (RDN) lowers blood pressure (BP), but BP response is
variable in individual patients. We investigated whether measures of pulsatile …

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 …

Objective: In this analysis of the telehealth-based Vascular health ASsessment Of The
hypertENSive patients Registry, we checked how 24-h central and peripheral …

Objectives: Despite the high prevalence of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) among
hypertensive adolescents, its clinical significance is not determined. In addition, it is …
