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 …

It has not been possible to measure wave speed in the human coronary artery, because the
vessel is too short for the conventional two-point measurement technique used in the aorta …

The study of wave propagation at different points in the arterial circulation may provide
useful information regarding ventriculoarterial interactions. We describe a number of …

Arterial simulators are a useful tool to simulate the cardiovascular system in many different
fields of application and to carry out in vitro tests that would constitute a danger when …

Divergent concepts on the origin of the dicrotic notch are widespread in medical literature
and education. Since most medical textbooks explain the origin of the dicrotic notch as …

We examine the effects of arterial occlusion on the pressure, velocity and the reflected
waves in the ascending aorta using wave intensity analysis. In 11 anaesthetised, open …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a basic parameter in the dynamics of pressure and flow waves
traveling in arteries. Conventional on-line methods of measuring PWV have mainly been …

Single-point methods such as the PU-and QA-loop methods are used to estimate local pulse
wave velocity (PWV PU and PWV QA) in arteries from a combination of pressure (P), flow …

The goal of this current study was to determine whether an MRI‐based elastography (MRE)
method can visualize and assess propagating mechanical waves within fluid‐filled vessels …

Background A promising approach to cuff-less, continuous blood pressure monitoring is to
estimate blood pressure (BP) from Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV). However, most existing PWV …
