Arterial stiffness, pulse pressure, and the kidney.
Classical studies indicate that the contribution of kidneys to hypertension is almost exclusively related to the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and vascular resistance. Recent reports including estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have shown that pulse pressure (PP) and pulse wave velocity, 2 major indices of arterial stiffness, now emerge as significant predictors of...
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 کاملThe Patterns of the Arterial Pressure Pulse
During the past ten years there have accumulated in this laboratory a large number of records of the arterial pressure pulses taken with the Hypodermic Manometer (4). These are faithful records of the changes in the pressure of the blood in various arteries of man and of other animals. The form of the pressure pulse curve is quite variable. Some of the types are drawn roughly to scale in the fi...
متن کاملPulmonary capillary arterial pressure pulse in man.
In 1948, Hellems, Haynes, Dexter, and Kinney, using venous and arterial catheterization in dogs obtained pressure recordings from both sides of the pulmonary capillary bed. The method consisted in wedging the tip of a cardiac catheter into a small branch of the pulmonary artery and of the pulmonary vein respectively, and recording the mean blood pressures in the obstructed vascular bed distal t...
متن کاملBlood pressure variability and arterial elasticity in hypertensive subjects.
Apart from the mean 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP), the blood pressure variability (BPV) also bears an independent relationship with target-organ damage in hypertension. A reduction in arterial compliance has been demonstrated in hypertension but its relation to BPV is still unknown. The aim of the study is to compare BPV and arterial compliance between hypertensive and normotensive su...
