There is intense effort to develop cuffless blood pressure (BP) measuring devices, and several are already on the market claiming that they provide accurate measurements. These devices heterogeneous in measurement principle, intended use, functions, calibration, have special accuracy issues requiring different validation than classic cuff BP monitors. To date, there no generally accepted protocols for their ensure adequate clinical use.This statement by European Society of Hypertension (ESH)...
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI) uses algorithms and large language models in computers to simulate human‐like problem‐solving decision‐making. AI programs have recently acquired widespread popularity the field of dermatology through application online tools assessment, diagnosis, treatment skin conditions. A literature review was conducted using PubMed Google Scholar analyzing recent (from last 10 years October 2023) evaluate current use for dermatologic purposes, identifying...
Arterial stiffness index β and cardio-ankle vascular (CAVI) are widely accepted to quantify the intrinsic exponent (β0) of blood pressure (BP)-diameter relationship. CAVI assume an exponential relationship between (P) diameter (d). We aim demonstrate that, under this assumption, as currently implemented inherently BP-dependent provide corrected, BP-independent forms β.In P = Prefe, usually reference (Pref) (dref) substituted with DBP diastolic accommodate measurements. Consequently,...
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) quantifies large artery stiffness, it is used in hemodynamic research and considered a useful cardiovascular clinical marker. cfPWV blood pressure (BP) dependent. Intrinsic heart rate (HR) dependency of unknown because increasing HR commonly accompanied by BP. This study aims to quantify on acute, sympathovagal-independent changes HR, independent Individuals (n=52, age 40-93 years, 11 female) with situ cardiac pacemakers or cardioverter...
Stress echocardiography (SE) has an established role in evidence-based guidelines, but recently its breadth and variety of applications have extended well beyond coronary artery disease (CAD). We lack a prospective research study SE applications, CAD, also considering signs addition to regional wall motion abnormalities. In prospective, multicenter, international, observational design, > 100 certified high-volume labs (initially from Italy, Brazil, Hungary, Serbia) will be networked with...
Cuffless wearable blood pressure (BP) devices may allow detailed evaluation of BP for prolonged periods, but their ability to accurately track changes is uncertain. We investigated whether a commercially available cuffless device tracks: 24-h systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) compared conventional ambulatory monitoring (ABPM); antihypertensive medication-induced cuff-based home (HBPM).We fitted 41 participants (32% females, 58 ± 14 years, 80% hypertensive) with wrist-wearable (Aktiia)...
Arterial stiffness, as measured by arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an established biomarker for cardiovascular risk and target-organ damage in individuals with hypertension. With the emergence of new devices assessing PWV, it has become evident that some these yield results display significant discrepancies compared previous devices. This discrepancy underscores importance comprehensive validation procedures need international recommendations.
Arterial stiffness, as measured by aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an independent marker of cardiovascular disease and events in both healthy diseased populations. Although some risk factors, such age blood pressure, show a strong association with PWV, the between heart rate (HR) PWV not firmly established. Furthermore, this has been investigated at different arterial pressures. To study effects HR on mean pressures (MAPs), adult (12 weeks; n=7), male, anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats...
Blood pressure (BP) is a key contributor to the lifetime risk of preclinical organ damage and cardiovascular disease. Traditional clinic-based BP readings are typically measured infrequently under standardized/resting conditions therefore do not capture values during normal everyday activity. Therefore, current hypertension guidelines emphasize importance incorporating out-of-office measurement into strategies for diagnosis management. However, conventional home ambulatory monitoring devices...
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a reliable measurement of arterial stiffness. Our study assesses the association between body mass index (BMI) and brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) in healthy cohort seeks to explain possible mechanisms associated with obesity paradox.A cross-sectional was conducted 578 normal individuals. The mean age 48.3 ± 14.6 years, 468 (81.0%) were men. 288 subjects (49.8%) overweight obese. baPWV ankle-brachial (ABI) performed evaluate stiffness atherosclerosis respectively....
Experimental investigations have established that the stiffness of large arteries has a dependency on acute heart rate (HR) changes. However, possible underlying mechanisms inherent in this HR not been well established. This study aimed to explore plausible viscoelastic mechanism by which exerts an influence arterial stiffness. A multisegment transmission line model human tree incorporating fractional components each segment was used investigate effect varying order parameter (α)...
Measuring arterial pulse transit time (PTT) to estimate blood pressure (BP) without conventional brachial cuff-based measurement is not new, but a focus of current wearable technologies research. Much research pertains efficient, accurate sensing artery-related waveforms, yet the relationship between PTT and BP receives less attention despite being key for estimation. This study investigated BP/PTT calibration by quantifying anatomical site variability (n = 10, 3 female, age 30 9 years)...
The global health burden presented by hypertension is providing increased motivation for improved means of collection blood pressure (BP) data. A growing area research and commercial activity the use wearable devices to provide BP data using non-invasive cuffless techniques. accelerated progress in recent years, particularly relating connectivity smartphone technology, has promoted availability consumer that values BP. main types are wrist-worn, watch-type with sensors typically record a...
