Despite the wide recognition of larger artery stiffness as a highly clinically relevant and
independent prognostic biomarker, it has yet be incorporated into routine clinical practice …

Arterial remodeling refers to the structural and functional changes of the vessel wall that
occur in response to disease, injury, or aging. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMC) play a …

Arterial pulse waves (PWs) such as blood pressure and photoplethysmogram (PPG) signals
contain a wealth of information on the cardiovascular (CV) system that can be exploited to …

Local pulse wave velocity (PWV) is evolving as one of the important determinants of arterial
hemodynamics, localized vessel stiffening associated with several pathologies, and a host …

Arterial stiffness is recognized mainly as an indicator of arteriosclerosis and a predictor of
cardiovascular events. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which reflects arterial stiffness …

Multiple biomarkers may predict short and long-term prognosis in patients with coronary
heart disease, but their impact is limited when used in addition to established risk factors …

I am delighted to introduce this new updated edition of Paolo Salvi's volume on Pulse
Waves, brilliantly summarizing the hemodynamics of hypertension and its implications for …

Vascular ageing, characterized by structural and functional changes in blood vessels of
which arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction are key components, is associated with …

Objective: The aim of the Advanced Approach to Arterial Stiffness study was to compare
arterial stiffness measured simultaneously with two different methods in different age groups …

Endothelium, the gatekeeper of our blood vessels, is highly heterogeneous and a crucial
physical barrier with the ability to produce vasoactive and protective mediators under …
