Pulse pressure amplification, arterial stiffness, and peripheral wave reflection determine pulsatile flow waveform of the femoral artery.
Aortic stiffness, peripheral wave reflection, and aorta-to-peripheral pulse pressure amplification all predict cardiovascular risk. However, the pathophysiological mechanism behind it is unknown. Tonometric pressure waveforms were recorded on the radial, carotid, and femoral arteries in 138 hypertensive patients (age: 56±13 years) to estimate aorta-to-peripheral amplifications, aortic augmentat...
متن کاملPulsatile flow analysis of the femoral artery.
Pulsatile Flow Analysis of the Femoral Artery To the Editor: We read with great interest the article, “Pulse Pressure Amplification, Arterial Stiffness, and Peripheral Wave Reflection Determine Pulsatile Flow Waveform of the Femoral Artery” by Hashimoto et al,1 studying the correlation between reverse diastolic blood flow and increased arterial stiffness in the femoral artery. The authors empha...
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 کاملEffect of smoking on arterial stiffness and pulse pressure amplification.
The brachial artery pressure waveform is abnormal in smokers, but the effect of smoking on the aortic pressure waveform in both smokers and nonsmokers, particularly in the younger population, is unknown. We compared the acute and chronic effects of smoking on large-artery properties in 185 healthy young smokers and nonsmokers (mean+/-SD, 22+/-5 years). We matched 41 chronic smokers for age, hei...
متن کاملHeart rate dependency of pulse pressure amplification and arterial stiffness.
BACKGROUND Pulse pressure and aortic pulse wave velocity, measures of arterial stiffness, are both important determinants of cardiovascular risk. However, assessment of peripheral pulse pressure does not always provide a reliable measure of changes in central pulse pressure or arterial stiffness. The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of acute changes in heart rate on arterial st...
