DOI: 10.1007/s00421-017-3789-4
Abstract: PurposeSeveral studies have shown that the augmentation index (AIx) is negatively correlated with heart rate (HR). This led some authors to claim that the use of HR-lowering drugs may be detrimental in hypertension. The aim… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00467-019-04434-0
Abstract: Background Arterial stiffness is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Augmentation index (AIx@75), a measure of arterial stiffness and wave reflection, has not been evaluated in patients with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). We… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/08037051.2020.1769468
Abstract: Abstract Purpose: Outcome after ischaemic stroke (AIS) depends on multiple factors, including values of blood pressure (BP) and arterial stiffness (AS) in the early phase. It is also known that stroke outcome is affected by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/hjh.0000000000001425
Abstract: Background: Augmentation index (AIx) is a noninvasive measure of pulse wave reflection. AIx is associated with cardiovascular disease. Adult women have a higher AIx than men, but the factors determining this sex-related difference remain to… read more here.
