Assessments of Arterial Stiffness and Endothelial Function Using Pulse Wave Analysis
Conventionally, the assessments of endothelial function and arterial stiffness require different sets of equipment, making the inclusion of both tests impractical for clinical and epidemiological studies. Pulse wave analysis (PWA) provides useful information regarding the mechanical properties of the arterial tree and can also be used to assess endothelial function. PWA is a simple, valid, reli...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness Relations Between Dairy Food Intake and Arterial Stiffness Pulse Wave Velocity and Pulse Pressure
Modifiable risk factors, such as diet, are becomingly increasingly important in the management of cardiovascular disease, one of the greatest major causes of death and disease burden. Few studies have examined the role of diet as a possible means of reducing arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity, an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The aim...
متن کاملAssessments of endothelial function and arterial stiffness are reproducible in patients with COPD
BACKGROUND Elevated cardiovascular disease risk is observed in patients with COPD. Non-invasive assessments of endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness have recently emerged to provide mechanistic insight into cardiovascular disease risk in COPD; however, the reproducibility of endothelial function and arterial stiffness has yet to be investigated in this patient population. OBJECTIVES ...

متن کاملThe influence of dialytic modality on arterial stiffness, pulse wave reflections, and vasomotor function.
BACKGROUND Measurements of aortic stiffness [aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Alx)] have been established as powerful predictors of survival on hemodialysis (HD). Abnormal endothelial-dependent and endothelial-independent vascular reactivity and increased arterial stiffness are commonly described in HD patients. There is, however, a lack of information on the comparative...
