Abstract: Although left ventricular end-systolic elastance (Ees) serves as a major index of cardiac contractility, a widely-accepted noninvasive estimation of Ees does not exist. To overcome this limitation, we developed a two-step inverse method that allows… read more here.

Abstract: Objective In a large-scale population cardiovascular screening programme, peripheral artery disease (PAD) and hypertension would ideally be rapidly assessed using a single device. The ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) is calculated by comparing the ankle and… read more here.
