New research is suggesting that measuring the pulse wave at a menopausal woman’s wrist may explain the increase in cardiovascular disease risk during menopause better than a standard blood pressure ...

Measuring a menopausal woman's pulse wave at her wrist can detect circulatory system changes that aren't evident with blood pressure readings. Menopause's effect on these radial pulse wave harmonics ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that can result in a rapid, irregular heart rate. This causes an apex-radial pulse deficit, because each ventricular contraction may not be sufficiently ...

Recently, a new system has been developed that estimates derived aortic pressure using an n-point moving average method (B-Pro device ® + A-pulse software). 12 This device has been validated in some ...

The subclavian arteries are usually palpable along the medial portion of the supraclavicular fossa. In patients receiving hemodialysis, a bruit may be heard on the side ipsilateral to a vascular ...

BOSTON, MA—For patients undergoing transradial coronary procedures, a short course of rivaroxaban (Xarelto; Bayer/Janssen) reduces the rate of radial artery occlusion without significantly increasing ...

ARTERIAL reconstruction by thrombendarterectomy or grafting has been widely and successfully used for obliterative arteriosclerosis of the abdominal aorta and its branches. This has naturally ...

“Based on the RADAR results, we believe that the denial of radial access for diagnostic angiography or interventions based solely on an abnormal [Allen’s test] or oximetry-plethysmography curve is not ...
