Amplification of the pressure pulse in the upper limb in healthy, middle-aged men and women.

20 Jun 2009 Central-to-peripheral amplification of the pressure pulse leads to discrepancies between central and brachial blood pressures. This amplification depends on an individual's hemodynamic and (patho)physiological characteristics. The aim of this study ... Read more...

Acute effects of food on postprandial blood pressure and measures of arterial stiffness in healthy humans.

15 Jun 2009 BACKGROUND: Recent research suggests that central pulse pressure may be a better indicator of cardiovascular disease outcomes than brachial pressure. Little information is available regarding the effect of food intake on postprandial central ... Read more...

[Brachial versus central blood pressure and vascular stiffness]

6 Jun 2009 Central blood pressure (BP) estimates the true load imposed on the left ventricle to a higher degree than does brachial BP. Increased aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) and central BP are risk markers for cardiovascular disease. Both can be measured ... Read more...
