Reference Values for the Arterial Pulse Wave in Chinese

Reference values for the arterial pulse wave in Chinese.

BACKGROUND Pulse wave analysis using the SphygmoCor system allows the estimation of central pulse pressure (PP) and peripheral and central augmentation indexes (AIxs). We studied the limits of normality of these measurements in Chinese. METHODS We computed limits of normality as the 95% confidence boundaries from regression models relating the arterial indexes to age. RESULTS The reference ...

Pulse Wave Propagation in the Arterial Tree

The beating heart creates blood pressure and flow pulsations that propagate as waves through the arterial tree that are reflected at transitions in arterial geometry and elasticity. Waves carry information about the matter in which they propagate. Therefore, modeling of arterial wave propagation extends our knowledge about the functioning of the cardiovascular system and provides a means to dia...

Reference values for pulse wave Doppler and tissue Doppler imaging in pediatric echocardiography.

BACKGROUND In pediatric echocardiography, pulse wave Doppler, and tissue Doppler imaging velocities are widely used to assess cardiac function. Current reference values and Z scores, allowing adjustment for growth are limited by inconsistent methodologies and small sample size. Using a standardized approach for parametric modeling and Z score quality assessment, we propose new pediatric referen...

Missing information in determining reference values of aortic pulse wave velocity in the elderly.

Effect of height on F-wave latency: Redefining reference values for Iranian population

Intrudaction: F-wave latency is one of the most sensitive parameters which is used for diagnosis of radiculopathy and neuropathy in electrodiagnostic medicine. Electrodianosis professionals mostly use reference values published in major textbooks mostly written in USA based on anthropomorphic characteristics of American people. Also there is considerable difference between heights of males an...
