Why the study?
Does applied external pressure affect arterial volume distensibility, pulse propagation time, and pulse wave velocity in healthy normotensive subjects?
Does applied external pressure affect arterial volume distensibility, pulse propagation time, and pulse wave velocity in healthy normotensive subjects?
A novel technique using applied external pressure demonstrates that systemic volume distensibility of the peripheral arm artery reduces with age and blood pressure, with greater effects observed at higher external pressures.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Reducing transmural pressure acutely alters peripheral PWV and distensibility in normotensives; leaves open clinical translation for age- or BP-related assessment.
Zheng et al. (2011) studied this question.
