  2. Arterial stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_stiffness

    Arterial stiffness occurs as a consequence of biological aging, arteriosclerosis and genetic disorders, such as Marfan, Williams, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. [1] Inflammation plays a major role in arteriosclerosis and arterial stiffness. [ 2 ]

  3. Pulse wave velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_wave_velocity

    The theory of the velocity of the transmission of the pulse through the circulation dates back to 1808 with the work of Thomas Young. [9] The relationship between pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial wall stiffness can be derived from Newton's second law of motion (=) applied to a small fluid element, where the force on the element equals the product of density (the mass per unit volume ...

  4. Arterial resistivity index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_resistivity_index

    The arterial resistivity index (also called as Resistance index, abbreviated as RI), developed by Léandre Pourcelot , is a measure of pulsatile blood flow that reflects the resistance to blood flow caused by microvascular bed distal to the site of measurement.

  5. Blood vessel disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel_disorder

    The arterial compliance - the amount of tension produced per stretch of arteries, decreases with age, and the stiffness of arteries increases with age. [3] The structural change in blood vessels causes the elderly to be more susceptible to hypertension, which leads to complications in arteries, the heart and even the brain. [citation needed]

  6. Blood pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_pressure

    A simple view of the hemodynamics of systemic arterial pressure is based around mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure. Most influences on blood pressure can be understood in terms of their effect on cardiac output, [77] systemic vascular resistance, or arterial stiffness (the inverse of arterial compliance). Cardiac output is the ...

  7. Compliance (physiology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

    Compliance diminishes with age and menopause. Arterial compliance is measured by ultrasound as a pressure (carotid artery) and volume (outflow into aorta) relationship. [5] Compliance, in simple terms, is the degree to which a container experiences pressure or force without disruption. It is used as an indication of arterial stiffness.

    The Richard F. Teerlink Stock Index From January 2008 to December 2008, if you bought shares in companies when Richard F. Teerlink joined the board, and sold them when he left, you would have a -49.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a -38.5 percent return from the S&P 500.

  9. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

    Pulse pressure is calculated as the difference between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. [3] [4]The systemic pulse pressure is approximately proportional to stroke volume, or the amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle during systole (pump action) and inversely proportional to the compliance (similar to elasticity) of the aorta.
