Global REACH 2018: High Blood Viscosity and Hemoglobin Concentration Contribute to Reduced Flow-Mediated Dilation in High-Altitude Excessive Erythrocytosis
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2019)
Excessive erythrocytosis (EE; hemoglobin concentration [Hb] >/=21 g/dL in adult males) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in highlander Andeans. We sought to quantify shear stress and assess endothelial ...
Ankle-brachial index: more than a diagnostic test?
(Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular - INCOR, 2021-12-27)
The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is the relationship between the systolic blood pressure taken at the ankle
level and the brachial artery. A pathological ABI (<0.90 or >1.40) indicates the presence of peripheral
artery ...
Endothelial dysfunction assessment by flow-mediated dilation in a high-altitude population
(Universidad Continental, 2017-09)
Introduction: Endothelial function at high altitude has been measured only in populations that are genetically adapted to chronic hypoxia. The objective of this study was to evaluate endothelial dysfunction (ED) in a ...
Retrograde flow components in the brachial artery. A new hemodynamic index
(Springer, 2012-10)
Arm elevation induces diastolic retrograde flow in the brachial artery and an incremental rise in arterial compliance in healthy subjects with no modifications in vascular resistance. In contrast, changes in resistance ...
The Ankle-Arm Index As a Predictive Risk Factor For Peripheral Arterial Disease In Patients With In Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
(Universidad Continental, 2019)
Background: Peripheral arterial disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for vascular
events. Recommendations about whether ankle-brachial index should be performed differ depending ...
Hemodialysis decreases carotid-brachial and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocities: A 5-year follow-up study
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2015-03)
Aortic stiffness is a prognostic parameter associated with patient mortality. Vascular access creation has been shown to have effects on arterial stiffness both in the aorta and in the upper limb arteries in chronically ...
Anatomic Bases for Brachial Plexus Block of Capuching (Sapajus libidinosus)
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, 2016)
Increases in peripheral systolic pressure levels and Z-score associate gradual aortic pressure increase and functional arterial impairment in children and adolescents
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018-12)
Background: Arterial changes associated with children and adolescents high blood pressure (HBP) states would vary depending on the arterial type, arterial indexes considered and/or on blood pressure (BP) levels. Aims: To ...
