The relevance of performing 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure And pulse wave analysis in kidney transplant recipients
… more informative regarding BP management, and if pulse wave analysis (PWA) would assist in risk stratification. This study included patients older than 18 years, with working graft kidney for >12 months, and without problems affecting BP measurement and interpretation. After performing office BP …

Developing a low-cost cardiovascular mobile screening kit
… stiffening, the root issue of many CVDs. Since pulse wave velocity (PWV) and pulse wave analysis (PWA) features were known to be correlated with arterial stiffening, we developed a Python API that would extract these features from the pulse waveforms collected using the devices in our screening …

Acute Cardiovascular Response to Low-Load Unilateral, Bilateral, and Alternating Resistance Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction in the Lower Body
… at 30% one-repetition maximum and 40% AOP. Pulse wave analysis was measured before and after exercise. Data were analyzed using Bayesian RMANOVA and presented as mean (SD). RESULTS: Changes in aortic systolic blood pressure, aortic diastolic blood pressure, and aortic mean arterial pressure …

Impact of Prolonged Sitting on Central Hemodynamics: Role of Intermittent Pneumatic Compression Therapy
… sitting increases central blood pressure, aortic pulse wave reflection and vascular stiffness. <strong>Methods:</strong> In 10 subjects (Age=22±2 yrs, BMI=28±4kg/m<sup>2</sup>, 3 females), brachial artery pulse wave analysis was performed before (baseline-BL), during, and after 3 hours of sitting. …

Determining whether plasma levels of KATP channels are related to vascular function
… test (PORH) in the skin microvessels; (iii) pulse wave analysis (PWA) for arterial stiffness and (iv) flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in the macrovessels. <br/><br/>Results: This study showed that Kir6.1 but not SUR2B, mRNA can be detected in human blood. In addition, acetylcholine (ACH) …

Effect of Nebivolol and Lifestyle Modification on Large Artery Stiffness in Middle-Aged and Older Hypertensive Adults
… or combination for 12 weeks. β-stiffness index, pulse wave analysis, and arterial compliance were measured at baseline and following the intervention. No baseline differences in variables of interest were observed between groups. In contrast to our hypothesis, lifestyle modification, nebivolol, …

Differential effects of fatty acids on the endothelium
… numbers (PMA), ambulatory blood pressure (ABP), pulse wave analysis (PWA), digital volume pulse analysis (DVP), and gave blood samples for plasma lipid, glucose, insulin, nitric oxide metabolites (NOx) and isoprostanes. The same measurements were made at the study endpoint, 6 weeks. An in vitro …

Effects of Far Infrared Irradiation on Vascular Function in Healthy Subjects
… infrared (FIR) is an invisible electromagnetic wave and a source of heat. It is involved in a range of biological effects which includes improvement in clinical outcomes in many pathological diseases especially in patients with chronic heart failure. FIR was also employed in animal and cellular …

The effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms of oxidative stress genes and low grade inflammation upon pulse wave contour analysis, a useful non invasive, intermediate vascular phenotype.
… as well as a non invasive vascular phenotype, pulse wave analysis. This thesis reports a series of studies (utilising the techniques described in chapter 2) which aimed to ascertain:- The reproducibility of pulse contour analysis as a non invasive intermediate cardiovascular phenotype (Chapter …
