Abnormal Central Pulsatile Hemodynamics in Adolescents With Obesity
Childhood obesity has increased dramatically in the United States during the past 30 years, which has been associated with a parallel rise in systolic blood pressure (BP) and pulse pressure (PP) in adolescents and young adults. Consistent with the elevation in systolic BP and PP, there has been an increase in the rates of prehypertension and hypertension mostly in youth with obesity, with the m...
متن کاملAbnormal Central Pulsatile Hemodynamics in Adolescents With Obesity: Higher Aortic Forward Pressure Wave Amplitude Is Independently Associated With Greater Left Ventricular Mass.
We hypothesized that increased aortic forward pressure wave amplitude (Pf), which is determined by characteristic impedance (Zc) in the proximal aorta, is the primary hemodynamic determinant of obesity-associated higher left ventricular (LV) mass in adolescents. Aortic pulsatile hemodynamics were measured noninvasively in 60 healthy adolescents (age 14-19 years; 42% male; 50% black) by sequenti...
متن کاملImpaired Central Pulsatile Hemodynamics in Children and Adolescents With Marfan Syndrome
BACKGROUND Marfan syndrome is characterized by aortic root dilation, beginning in childhood. Data about aortic pulsatile hemodynamics and stiffness in pediatric age are currently lacking. METHODS AND RESULTS In 51 young patients with Marfan syndrome (12.0±3.3 years), carotid tonometry was performed for the measurement of central pulse pressure, pulse pressure amplification, and aortic stiffne...
متن کاملNormal Versus Abnormal Central Hemodynamics in the Korean Population
Chung et al. released an interesting set of data on the reference values for augmentation index (AI) and pulse pressure (PP) in central and peripheral arteries in apparently healthy Korean subjects. Publishing the reference value demarcating normal and abnormal Korean subjects is timely to address the following questions: 1) the change in peripheral and central hemodynamics with age in healthy ...
متن کاملPulsatile hemodynamics in congestive heart failure.
Pulse pressure, an indirect measure of vascular stiffness and pulsatile load, predicts clinical events in congestive heart failure (CHF), suggesting that abnormal pulsatile load may contribute to CHF. This study was designed to assess more direct measures of central pulsatile load in CHF. Noninvasive hemodynamic evaluations were performed in 28 subjects with CHF and 40 controls using calibrated...
