Arterial wave reflection in HIV-infected and HIV-uninfected Rwandan women.

30 Aug 2009 To assess differences in arterial wave reflection, a marker of atherosclerosis, in HIV-positive and HIV-negative Rwandan women, applanation tonometry was performed on 276 HIV(+) and 67 HIV(-) participants. Radial artery pressure waveforms were ... Read more...

Assessing fluid responsiveness in critically ill patients: False-positive pulse pressure variation is detected by Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of the right ventricle.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: To determine whether peak systolic velocity of tricuspid annular motion assessed by tissue Doppler echocardiography (Sta), a right ventricular function parameter, can discriminate patients with true- and false-positive pulse pressure ... Read more...

Aortic Pulse Wave Analysis is not a surrogate for central arterial Pulse Wave Velocity.

3 Aug 2009 Arterial Stiffness (AS) is a primary cardiovascular risk factor. AS increases myocardial oxygen demand and LV work and decreases coronary perfusion. Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is considered the gold standard for assessing AS. However, PWV testing is ... Read more...
