Pulse Wave Analysis and Pulse Wave Velocity
momanometer that provides arterial pressures (brachial systolic and diastolic pressure) is coming under question. The concerns extend well beyond the familiar issue of “white coat” hypertension, home and 24-h blood pressure recordings, and the phase-out of mercury based instruments. These concerns relate to the inaccuracy of all cuff devices for measuring pressure within the brachial artery, th...
متن کاملRelationship between serum albumin and pulse wave velocity in patients on continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis
BACKGROUND Hypoalbuminemia is a risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality in dialysis patients, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Meanwhile, increased pulse wave velocity (PWV), the marker of arterial stiffness, has been proved to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease. The relationship between serum albumin and PWV in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialys...
متن کاملPulse wave velocity and carotid atherosclerosis in White and Latino patients with hypertension
BACKGROUND Preventive cardiology has expanded beyond coronary heart disease towards prevention of a broader spectrum of cardiovascular diseases. Ethnic minorities are at proportionately greater risk for developing extracoronary vascular disease including heart failure and cerebrovascular disease. METHODS We performed a cross sectional study of Latino and White hypertension patients in a safet...

متن کاملGlobal Pulse Wave Velocity in 87 Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Aortic Atherosclerosis
Introduction: Increased pulse wave velocity (PWV) as a measure of aortic stiffness is an important marker for changes in aortic compliance and is an independent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and stroke. Reliable measurement of PWV is of particular interest for monitoring the progression or regression of vessel compliance during therapy [1-3]. Phase contrast (PC) MRI provides a noninvasi...
