Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and
obesity significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. The measurement of blood …

Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor found to correlate with a wide range of
cardiovascular diseases. It has been suggested that shear wave elastography (SWE) can be …

Rapid endothelialization helps overcome the limitations of small-diameter vascular grafts. To
develop biomimetic non-thrombogenic coatings supporting endothelialization, medical …

Photoplethysmography (PPG) is a non-invasive photometric technique that measures the
volume changes in arterial blood. Recent studies have reported limitations in developing …

Preventive healthcare requires continuous monitoring of the blood pressure (BP) of patients,
which is not feasible using conventional methods. Photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals can …
