Vascular aging represents a collection of structural and functional changes in a blood vessel
with advancing age, including increased stiffness, vascular wall remodeling, loss of …

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is reported to have long-term effects on
cardiovascular health and physical functioning, even in the nonhospitalized population. The …

Background Ethnicity impacts cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, and South Asians
demonstrate a higher risk than White Europeans. Arterial stiffness is known to contribute to …

This paper presents a low cost, noninvasive, clinical-grade Pulse Wave Velocity evaluation
device. The proposed system relies on a simultaneous acquisition of femoral and carotid …

Background Blood flowing in the arterial lumen acts on the surface of the vessel wall to form
wall shear stress (WSS). To date, there has been limited research on the utility of non …

We investigate the association of incremental pulse wave velocity (ΔC; the change in pulse
wave velocity over a cardiac cycle) with cardiometabolic risk factors and report the first and …

Background Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a marker of arterial stiffness and local
measurements could facilitate its widescale clinical use. However, confluence of incident …

Background: Wave separation analysis (WSA) performed at the common carotid artery
(CCA) reveals insights into cerebral vascular pathophysiology; however, the conventional …

Current ultrasound methods for recognition and motion-tracking of arterial walls are suited
for image-based B-mode or M− mode scans but not adequately robust for single-line image …

Vascular ageing is directly associated with the blood vessel wall structural and functional
abnormalities. Pulse morphology carries information on these abnormalities, and pulse …
