245 It should not, however, be used interchangeably as an index of arterial stiffness as their physiological meanings differ. Similar to augmentation index, central pulse pressure is dependent on heart rate, ventricular contractility, and factors affecting the reflected wave, notably arterial stiffness ...
Radial augmentation index () can be more conveniently measured compared with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (). However, the performance ofin assessing arterial stiffness is limited. This study proposes a novel index, a combination ofand diastolic augmentation index () with a weight, to ...

Recently, applanation tonometry derived augmentation index (AIx), an indirect marker of arterial stiffness, has shown to be positively associated with progression of aortic disease in Marfan syndrome. In this study, we assessed aortic AIx in patients with EDS and matched healthy controls. Methods We...
These findings suggest that increase in arterial stiffness may be associated with grade of endothelial dysfunction and that AI may be an index of not only arterial stiffness but also endo- thelial function. (Hypertens Res 2008; 31: 1293–1298) Key Words: augmentation index, arterial stiffness, ...
Increased arterial stiffness has been associated with greater risk of cardiovascular events. We investigated whether aortic augmentation index (AIx), a measure of arterial stiffness and wave reflection, was associated with the ankle-brachial index (ABI), a measure of peripheral arterial disease (PAD)...

PWA may, therefore, be suitable for large-scale population and intervention studies investigating the clinical relevance of vascular stiffness. 展开 关键词: pulse wave analysis arterial stiffness reproducibility augmentation index pulse wave velocity ...
Pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIX) are two examples that estimate the arterial stiffness. Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) assesses structural changes in the vasculature. Childhood increases in these measurements are associated with an increased future CVD risk [5]. In the...
