Increased aortic wave reflection and longitudinal regional diastolic dysfunction in patients with left ventricular hypertrophy
24 January 2012
Joji Ishikawa, Yoshio Matsui, Cesare Russo, Eiichi Hyodo, Kotaro Arai, Marco R. DiTulio, Shunichi Homma, Kazuomi Kario
Abstract: Objectives: Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the progression of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH); however, the endocardial layer (End) contracts more than the epicardial lay...

A comparison of SphygmoCor and Vicorder devices for measuring aortic pulse wave velocity in pregnancy
24 January 2012
T.R. Everett, A. Mahendru, C.M. McEniery, C.C. Lees, I.B. Wilkinson
Abstract: Background: Aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV) has been found to be increased in preeclampsia when compared to normal pregnancy. Preeclampsia is associated with increased risk of later cardio...

Relationship between 24 h ambulatory central blood pressure and left ventricular mass – Rationale and design of a prospective multicenter study
24 January 2012
Thomas Weber, Carmel McEniery, Ian Wilkinson, Giuseppe Schillaci, Maria Lorenza Muiesan, Robert Zweiker, Cristina Giannattasio, Kai Mortensen, Johannes Baulmann, Arno Schmidt-Trucksäss, Siegfried Wassertheurer
Abstract: The prognostic superiority of ambulatory over clinic blood pressure has been repeatedly proven. However, due to the mechanical properties of the arterial system, systolic and pulse pressures...
