Arterial stiffness has been recognized as a marker of cardiovascular disease and associated
with long-term worse clinical outcomes in several populations. Age, hypertension, smoking …

Background Repeated exposure to household air pollution may intermittently raise blood
pressure (BP) and affect cardiovascular outcomes. We investigated whether hourly carbon …

Recent studies are reviewed, concerning the in vivo wall stiffness of arteries and arterioles in
healthy humans, and how these properties adapt to iterative increments or sustained …

Despite decades of experience from high-gravitoinertial (G) exposures in aircraft and
centrifuges, information is scarce regarding primary cardiovascular adaptations to+ Gz loads …

During increased gravitoinertial (G) load in the head-to-foot direction, pressures in
dependent vascular beds are commonly raised to levels capable of distending precapillary …

The aims were to study effects of iterative exposures to moderate elevations of local
intravascular pressure on arterial/arteriolar stiffness and plasma levels of vasoactive …

Purpose Because leg arterial stiffness is higher in subjects with high G tolerance, we
hypothesized that subjects with high G tolerance would have larger capacity for …

The purpose was to examine the effects of a prolonged period of recumbency on the toe
temperature responses during cold-water foot immersion. Ten healthy males underwent 35 …

The wall stiffness of arteries and arterioles adapts to the long‐term demands imposed by
local intravascular pressure. We investigated whether substances capable of inducing acute …

We examined the in vivo pressure-flow relationship in human cutaneous vessels during
acute and repeated elevations of local transmural pressure. In 10 healthy men, red blood …
