Reference intervals and percentiles for carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in a healthy population aged between 9 and 87 years
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-03)
There is little information regarding age-related reference intervals (RIs) of carotidfemoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) for large healthy populations in South America. The aims of this study were to determine cfPWV RIs ...
Characteristics and Determinants of Pulse Pressure-age Relationship in Healthy and Non-treated Hypertensive Subjects of an Argentinean Population
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2020-12)
Background: The relationship between the increases in pulse pressure (PP) and arterial stiffness determined by aging or systemic hypertension has been widely reported. These findings are supported by large-cohort analyzes ...
Comparison of different methods for the estimation of aortic pulse wave velocity from 4D flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance
(BioMed Central, 2019-12)
Background: Arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) is associated with increased mortality in aging and disease. Several studies have shown the accuracy of applanation tonometry carotid-femoral PWV (Cf-PWV) and the relevance ...
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 ...
Reference intervals of aortic pulse wave velocity assessed with an oscillometric device in healthy children and adolescents from Argentina
(Taylor & Francis, 2019-02)
Age-related reference intervals (RIs) of aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao-PWV) obtained from a large healthy population are lacking in South America. The aims of this study were to determine Ao-PWV RIs in a cohort of healthy ...
Arterial stiffness in haemodialyzed patients: Findings and controversies
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2018-04)
Vascular research in end-stage renal diseases is an interesting field in which the characterization of arterial stiffness proved to be valuable to predict morbidity and mortality. Particularly, patients on renal replacement ...
Design of a portable device for continuous 24h measurement of biological signals in large animals
(Sociedad Argentina de Bioingeniería, 2019-03)
The clinical interest in the measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), as an indirect index of arterial stiffness, has led to the development of new devices whose characteristics and limitations are currently being analyzed ...
Improved biomechanical metrics of cerebral vasospasm identified via sensitivity analysis of a 1D cerebral circulation model
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Cerebral vasospasm (CVS) is a life-threatening condition that occurs in a large proportion of those affected by subarachnoid haemorrhage and stroke. CVS manifests itself as the progressive narrowing of intracranial arteries. ...
Morning surge, pulse wave velocity, and autonomic function tests in elderly adults
(Lippincott Williams, 2012-06)
OBJECTIVE: To assess the complex interplay between morning surge (MS), the autonomic reflex response at the cardiovascular level, and target organ damage (arterial stiffening, left ventricle hypertrophy). METHODS: Fifty-nine ...
Associations between disease activity, markers of HDL functionality and arterial stiffness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
(Elsevier Ireland, 2016-08)
Background and aims Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory disease associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Measures of HDL metabolism/function were shown to be altered in RA patients ...
