Studies in humans have shown that hypertension may result in arterial stiffening, increased pulse wave velocity and thus, to the early arrival of the reflected waves ...

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have impaired endothelial function. Arterial elasticity is modulated by endothelial function. The association between arterial elasticity and endothelial ...

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 ...

Oxygen is among the most frequently administered medical therapies, with a level that is commonly adjusted according to the reading on a pulse oximeter that measures patients’ oxygen saturation.
