Conclusions: The study demonstrates the effectiveness of Antares algorithm in precisely and non-invasively estimating central blood pressure (cBP) in individuals with obesity. These findings hold promising implications for enhancing the diagnosis and treatment of hypertension in this specific group of patien...
The pulsatile arterial flow demonstrates three typical wave patterns onDoppler spectrumimaging with each cardiac cycle that begin with systole and terminate at the end of diastole (Fig. 6-5). Low-pulsatility Doppler waveforms have a broad systolic peak and forward flow throughout diastole. Given ...
Fig. 19.AP (A) and lateral (B) common carotid angiograms in a patient with asymptomatic ICA occlusion demonstrates robust collateralization from ethmoidal branches of the distal IMA to ethmoidal branches of the OPH and retrograde OPH flow to reconstitute the intracranial ICA and middle cerebral ...
At a vascular bifurcation, in general, part of an impinging pulse wave is transmitted across the junction in antegrade flow, while a part of the wave is reflected back in retrograde flow. The fraction of the wave which is reflected, as compared to that which impinges on the bifurcation, is...
Furthermore, this cohort demonstrates an effective non-femoral artery approach (sparing transfemoral artery access complications) via the combination of a transpedal and left radial artery access in these difficult SFA/popliteal CTO cases. Lastly, our study on the safety endpoints for transpedal ...
arteryflow. The third stage, during early adult life, demonstrates good cardiac perfusion via rich collateralartery flowfrom thecontralateralcoronary artery. The last stage, during late adult life, involves the overloaded collateral artery causing recurrentischemiabecause of thesteal phenomenonfrom the RCA...
Post-operatively the right vertebral artery flow changed to antegrade flow but flow in the left vertebral artery remained retrograde. Conclusion This case demonstrates the benefit of evaluating hemodynamics during a carotid duplex and use of other imaging modalities to direct patient treatment....
In addition to the excellent long-term results of CFE, this study also demonstrates its safety. In this study, we have shown that procedural morbidity of CFE (5% major complication) is comparable to those reported in recent studies of infrainguinal PTAs (range 3.0% to 3.8%).3, 5, 6 Furt...
This case demonstrates the feasibility of a septal endocardial and intravenous approach for a epicardial AP, and the risk involving the applications of radiofrequency energy within the CS, mainly because of the vicinity with posterolateral and descendent posterior coronary artery. The earliest electrogra...
The CHADS2 score has been widely employed since 2001 for predicting the risk of stroke in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and demonstrates worse stratification performance compared with CHA2DS2-VASc [22]. This could be justified by the high prevalence rates of peripheral vascular diseases (...
