Peripheral augmentation index defines the relationship between central and peripheral pulse pressure.
Peripheral systolic blood pressure is amplified above central aortic systolic pressure, but the late systolic shoulder of the peripheral pulse may approximate central systolic pressure. Because late systolic pressure also determines the peripheral augmentation index, a measure of pressure wave reflection within the systemic circulation, this implies a direct relationship between amplification a...

Sir: The possibility to continuously assess changes in blood pressure dictates the need to find proper ways of obtaining clinically relevant information from such signals. In the simplest linear case scenario pressure changes are directly proportional to volume changes. This could give some theoretical soundness to the use of photoplethysmographic signals for similar purposes1. Even when the PP...

The digital volume pulse can be recorded simply and noninvasively by photoplethysmography. The objective of the present study was to determine whether a generalized transfer function can be used to relate the digital volume pulse to the peripheral pressure pulse and, hence, to determine whether both volume and pressure pulse waveforms are influenced by the same mechanism. The digital volume pul...
متن کاملPeripheral pulse pressure, large arteries, and microvessels.
The aorta is a capacitance vessel that enables transformation of the “on-off” blood-flow characteristics of the left ventricle into a less pulsatile flow in more distal vessels. Thus, a smooth nonpulsatile blood-flow pattern is achieved at capillary level. Arterial wall stiffness determines the degree of energy absorbed by the elastic aorta and its recoil in diastole. Aortic pulse pressure (PP)...
متن کاملInterrelation between central and peripheral mechanisms regulating blood pressure.
CHANGES in heart rate and blood pressure induced by electrical stimulation of the. dieneephalon were first demonstrated by Karplus and Kreidl in 1909. About 25 years later, Kabat et al. stimulated 7,700 points in the diencephalon and catalogued those producing elevation or depression of blood pressure. In these studies, the changes in heart rate were reported to be slight. Bronk and his associa...
