Background Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index
(CAVI) are indices of arterial stiffness, and several studies have used these indices …

Background and aims Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are novel alternative tobacco
products being promoted as an alternative to cigarettes. To evaluate the impact of HTP use …

Objective Increased arterial stiffness has been linked to aneurysm formation in the systemic
and cerebral circulations, though the role played by arterial stiffness in the cerebral …

The effect of blood pressure on pulse wave velocity (PWV) is well established. However,
PWV variability with acute hemodynamic changes has not been examined in the clinical …

Vascular stiffness plays a key role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Recent studies
indicate that the age-associated reduction in miR-181b levels in vascular smooth muscle …

The left ventricular ejection time is routinely measured from a peripheral arterial waveform.
However, the arterial waveform undergoes constant transformation as the pulse wave …

Arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV) depends on blood pressure (BP). Correction of PWV for
BP is commonly performed using a statistical approach, requiring a patient cohort. We …

The investigation of arterial stiffening is a promising approach to estimating cardiovascular
risk. Despite the widespread use of different methods, the dynamic nature of measured and …

Blood pressure variability (BPV) and arterial stiffness are age-related hemodynamic risk
factors for neurodegenerative disease, but it remains unclear whether they exert …

MATERIALS AND METHODS: A case–control study was conducted in 116 newly diagnosed,
never treated, apparently healthy hypertensives and 116 matched nonhypertensive controls …
