Arterial pulse recording and pulse waveform analysis have represented a goal for physicians and experimental physiologists since the second half of the nineteenth century. Sphygmographs, developed by ...

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 ...

We performed a prospective, single-center evaluation, which was approved by the institutional review board. Any child with a structurally normal heart who was undergoing hemodynamic assessment in the ...

Researchers found that estimated Pulse Wave Velocity (ePWV), a readily available marker of arterial stiffness, has been shown to be an effective addition in identifying patients at risk of mortality ...
