Arterial pulse waves (PWs) such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals
contain a wealth of information on the cardiovascular (CV) system that can be exploited to …

Structural and functional dysfunction in both the macro-and microvasculature are a feature of
essential hypertension. In a healthy cardiovascular system, the elastic properties of the large …

Cerebral pulsatility reflects a balance between the transmission and damping of pulsatility in
the cerebrovasculature. Females experience greater cerebral pulsatility with aging, which …

Aims Excessive arterial pulsatility may contribute to cognitive decline and risk of dementia
via damage to the fragile cerebral microcirculation. We hypothesized that the intensity of …

We recently introduced noninvasive methods to assess local pulse wave velocity (PWV) and
wave intensity (ndI) in arteries based on measurements of flow velocity (U) and diameter (D) …

In recent years, several works have addressed the problem of modeling blood flow
phenomena in veins, as a response to increasing interest in modeling pathological …

The aim of this work was to assess the reproducibility of ultrasound parameters of vascular
function, since these measurements are currently recommended by the guidelines for the …

Arterial stiffness is associated with cerebral flow pulsatility. Arterial stiffness increases
following acute resistance exercise (RE). Whether this acute RE-induced vascular stiffening …

Objective: The clinical significance of the wave intensity (WI) analysis for the diagnosis and
prognosis of the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases is well-established. However …

We present a novel analysis of arterial pulse wave propagation that combines traditional
wave intensity analysis with identification of Windkessel pressures to account for the effect …
