Objective: Cardiac output is a useful measure of myocardial performance. Standard methods of determining cardiac output are not without risk and can be problematic in children. Arterial pulse wave ...

Arterial stiffness is one of the early signs of cardiovascular disease, and arterial stiffening has been observed in children. A recent study suggests that an easy-to-use, non-invasive method can ...

A breakthrough look at two often-overlooked heart health metrics that researchers say are the most accurate predictors of longevity. We'll explore the science behind pulse wave velocity and arterial ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Madrashave proposed a magnet-based sensor that would allow scientists to measure the velocity of blood pulse waves within the carotid artery. Each ...

A pulse wave is a wave in which the blood flow – that originates from the heartbeat – is transmitted to the body. It is an important biosignal that indicates cardiovascular health. Analyzing the pulse ...

Predicting and monitoring cardiovascular disease is often expensive and tenuous, involving high-tech equipment and intrusive procedures. However, a new method developed by researchers offers a better ...

Each heavy vertical line represents two-tenths second. Note the double systolic sound associated with the double summit of the pulsus bisferiens in this case of severe aortic stenosis. The purpose of ...

IN patients with advanced aortic regurgitation Korotkoff sounds may be heard over the brachial artery when the sphygmomanometer cuff has been completely deflated. Diastolic pressures obtained by ...

Multi-night sleep apnoea assessment was linked to accelerated vascular aging. Learn how digital monitoring may improve risk prediction.

The maintenance of adequate CO and organ perfusion is critical in preventing ischemic injury and subsequent multiple-system organ dysfunction. Since our clinical ability to assess a patient's ...
