The arterial pulse wave (PW) is a rich source of information on cardiovascular (CV) health. It
is widely measured by both consumer and clinical devices. However, the physical …

Arterial hypertension is a major modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factor worldwide based
on observational studies of brachial artery blood pressure (BP). In the latest guidelines of the …

Aims Estimated central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and amplification (Brachial SBP-
cSBP) are non-invasive measures potentially prognostic of cardiovascular (CV) disease. No …

The original Riva-Rocci method to measure blood pressure (BP) using a cuff at the upper
arm assumed the pressure obtained by this technique was a good proxy for central aortic …

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 …

The value of increased arterial wave reflection, usually assessed by the transit time–
dependent augmentation index and augmented pressure (Pa), in the prediction of …

Office blood pressure measurement has been the basis for hypertension evaluation for
almost a century. However, the evaluation of blood pressure out of the office using …

I am delighted to introduce this new updated edition of Paolo Salvi's volume on Pulse
Waves, brilliantly summarizing the hemodynamics of hypertension and its implications for …

Aortic pulse wave velocity is a worldwide accepted index to evaluate aortic stiffness and can
be assessed noninvasively by several methods. This study sought to determine if commonly …

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 …
