Abstract: Doppler ultrasound is widely used for cardiovascular disease diagnosis. However, the large size and high power consumption of conventional ultrasound transducers limit their applicability ...

Background: Arterial compliance is an independent predictor of diastolic dysfunction. Invasive catheterization can accurately reflect diastolic function. However, studies on the invasive assessment of ...

Accelerated vascular aging after COVID-19 infection was found to be limited to women in a prospective cohort study. Researchers relied on measurements of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, a marker ...

Abstract: Doppler ultrasound modalities, which include spectral Doppler and color flow imaging, are frequently used tools for flow diagnostics because of their real-time point-of-care applicability ...

ABSTRACT: Background: Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) gene polymorphisms contribute to the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine the possible association of two ...

Abstract—Atherosclerosis begins early in life and is the major underlying cause of cardiovascular morbidity and death. Yet, population-based information on age and sex differences in the extent and ...

Two hundred thirty-three healthy pediatric subjects 1 to 18 years of age were prospectively recruited. Thirteen pulse wave Doppler and 14 tissue Doppler imaging measurements were recorded.
