Stiffness of elastic arteries like the aorta predicts cardiovascular risk. By directly reflecting
arterial stiffness, having the best predictive value for cardiovascular outcome and the ease of …

Hypertension remains a major contributor to the global burden of disease. The measurement
of blood pressure continues to have pitfalls related to both physiological aspects and acute …

A healthy aorta exerts a powerful cushioning function, which limits arterial pulsatility and
protects the microvasculature from potentially harmful fluctuations in pressure and blood flow. …

A numerical model based on the nonlinear, one-dimensional (1-D) equations of pressure and
flow wave propagation in conduit arteries is tested against a well-defined experimental 1:1 …

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. …

Arterial hypertension is a major modifiable cardiovascular (CV) risk factor worldwide based
on observational studies of brachial artery blood pressure (BP). In the latest guidelines of the …

Evidence assembled over the last decade shows that average telomere length (TL) acts as
a biomarker for biological aging and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in particular. Although …

Objectives : This study sought to assess the relationship between central pressure profiles
and cardiovascular events (CVEs) in a large community-based sample. Background : …

The accuracy of the nonlinear one-dimensional (1-D) equations of pressure and flow wave
propagation in Voigt-type visco-elastic arteries was tested against measurements in a well-…

The relation between arterial function indices, such as pulse wave velocity and augmentation
index with parameters derived from input impedance analysis, is still incompletely …
