Abstract: OBJECTIVE Local arterial wave speed, a surrogate of vessel stiffness, can be estimated via the pressure-velocity (PU) and diameter-velocity (ln(D)U) loop methods. These assume negligible early-systolic reflected waves (RWes) and require measurement of cross-sectionally averaged… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is tightly linked to hypertension. Sex differences in hypertension and arterial stiffness have already been established, yet the role of sex hormones is not precisely defined. This study examined age and sex… read more here.

Abstract: Arterial wave reflection augments cardiac afterload increasing myocardial demands. Mathematical models and comparative physiology suggest that the lower limbs are the primary source of reflected waves; however, in vivo human evidence corroborating these observations is… read more here.
