The cushioning function of large arteries encompasses distension during systole and recoil
during diastole which transforms pulsatile flow into a steady flow in the microcirculation …

The arterial pulse wave (PW) is a rich source of information on cardiovascular (CV) health. It
is widely measured by both consumer and clinical devices. However, the physical …

2258 LEE HY et al. inguinal region are barriers to its wide clinical use. In contrast, the
brachial–ankle PWV is easy to measure and has potential for screening purposes. In small …

The human arterial system in youth is beautifully designed for its role of receiving spurts of
blood from the left ventricle and distributing this as steady flow through peripheral …

BACKGROUND It has been well established that arterial stiffness, manifest as an increase in
arterial pulse wave velocity or late systolic amplification of the carotid artery pressure pulse …

Arterial pressure waves were recorded noninvasively from the carotid, radial, femoral, or all
three of these arteries of 1,005 normal subjects, aged 2-91 years, using a new …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index are independent predictors of
adverse cardiovascular events, including mortality. In hypertension and aging, central elastic …

BACKGROUND This study tested whether the simple ratio of ventricular end-systolic
pressure to stroke volume, known as the effective arterial elastance (Ea), provides a valid …

A distributed model of the human arterial tree including all main systemic arteries coupled to
a heart model is developed. The one-dimensional (1-D) form of the momentum and …

To evaluate the clinical application of the second derivative of the fingertip
photoplethysmogram waveform, we performed drug administration studies (study 1) and …
