The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is evolving as one of the important determinants of arterial
hemodynamics, localized vessel stiffening associated with several pathologies, and a host …

Certain topics in research and advancements in medical diagnostics may benefit from
improved temporal and spatial resolution during non-invasive optical imaging of living …

We demonstrate a new noninvasive method to assess biomechanical properties of the
retinal vascular system. Phase-sensitive full-field swept-source optical coherence …

Structural and functional dysfunction in both the macro-and microvasculature are a feature of
essential hypertension. In a healthy cardiovascular system, the elastic properties of the large …

The risk of cardiovascular events is linked to arterial elasticity that can be estimated from the
pulse wave velocity. This symmetric wave velocity is related to the wall elasticity through the …

With each contraction of the heart's left ventricle, a pulse pressure wave surges into the aorta
and propagates throughout the vascular tree. The pulse wave drives blood flow forward. Its …

Pulse transit time (PTT) is the time it takes for pressure waves to propagate through the
arterial system. Arterial stiffness assessed via PTT has been extensively examined in the …

Pulse wave attenuation characteristics reflect compliance and resistance properties of the
vessel wall as well as initial pulse generation factors. Recently, it has become possible to …

Full-field swept-source optical coherence tomography (FF-SS-OCT) was recently shown to
allow new and exciting applications for imaging the human eye that were previously not …
