Abstract:

Current noninvasive blood pressure (BP) measurement methods estimate the systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP) at two random instants in time. The BP variability and its serious consequences on the measurement are not recognized by most physicians. The standard for automated BP devices sets a maximum allowable system error of +/- 5 mmHg, even though natural BP variability often exceeds these limits. This thesis characterizes the variability of SBP and DBP and proposes a new approach to augment the conventional noninvasive measurement using simultaneous recordings of the oscillome

Abstract:

<p>Cardiac catheterization has for a long time been a valuable way to evaluate the hemodynamics of a patient. One of the benefits is that the entire blood pressure waveform can be recorded and visualized to the cardiologist. These measurements are however disturbed by different phenomenon, such as respiration and the dynamics of the fluid filled catheter, which introduces artifacts in the blood pressure waveform. If these disturbances could be removed, the measurement would be more accurate. This report focuses on the effects of respiratory artifacts in blood pressure signals during cardiac ca

Abstract:

Hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) greater than or equal to 140 mmHg, or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of 90 mmHg or greater, is a prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease that affects more than 75 million people in the United States. It is also estimated that 1 out of 3 Americans have prehypertension, which is classified as SBP ranging from 120-139 mmHg, or DBP from 80-89 mmHg. As aging occurs, there is a significant increase in the risk for development of elevated blood pressures (BP) at rest or during stress related activities. Measurements of BP response to str

Although the cardiovascular changes associated with dynamic exercise have been investigated, there still remain many unanswered questions with respect to blood pressure following exercise. This study examined the effect of temperature on systolic (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), oxygen consumption $\rm(VO\sb2),$ and skin temperature (Tsk) in 10 healthy, young males (23-28 years of age), during a 60-minute supine post-exercise recovery period.

At 2 months of age arterial blood pressure was recorded intravascularly using telemetry. Systolic, mean, and pulse pressures were significantly greater in hypoxic pre-treated groups of both sexes compared to controls (p < 0.05). Neonatal hypox

Abstract:

It is widely believed that vascular smooth muscle in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) is prone to a greater genetically determined propensity to growth because antihypertensive drugs typically do not completely normalise the structural development of SHR resistance arteries. In order to investigate this further, the blood pressure rise in one hindlimb of SHR and normotensive Wistar Kyoto (WKY) control rats was attenuated by a partially constricting ligature around one external iliac artery at 5 weeks. Therefore blood pressure reduction was mediated by non-therapeutic means. At 12 and 24 w

The ventilatory responses to the activation of the muscle metaboreflex were also studied under a background of activated ventilatory chemoreceptors.

Normal levels of CO₂ are responsible for the maintenance of approximately 30% of sympathetic neurogenic vascular tone in intact cats.

However, it is possible that spinal cord CO₂ sensitivity could also have mediated a portion of neurogenic vascular tone. Cats with acute and chronic spinal transections can maintain near normal levels of systemic arterial blood pressure, and show cardiovascular and sympathetic reflex changes in response to a variety of stimuli.

The present study documents that baroreceptors located in the pulmocutaneous artery (PCA) are key components in control of lymph heart rate in amphibians. A negative feedback control loop exists between arterial pressure and lymphatic heart rate. The recurrent laryngeal nerve (rLN), which innervates the PCA baroreceptors, transmits information on arterial pressure to integration centers in the central nervous system. Lymphatic heart rate (LHR) is reduced as a result of increases in arterial pressure. This loop was determined using three experimental protocols. First, the correlation between LH

Abstract:

Background: During incremental exercise, systolic blood pressure (SBP) increases due to increasing cardiac output. However, the impact of workload on SBP has often been overlooked. Indexing the increase in SBP to the increase in workload could provide a way of accounting for this. Athletes often reach higher maximal SBP (SBPmax) than untrained subjects, which has been attributed to their superior cardiac capacity. How this affects the relation between SBP and workload is not established. Aim: We sought to characterise the novel metrics SBP/VO2-slope and SBP/Watt-slope in endurance athletes and

Firstly, in a cross-sectional study, the only strong correlation was found between heart rate variability (a cardiovascular marker) and resting blood pressure.

Arterial blood pressure (BP) undergoes a 24-hour oscillation that peaks in the active day and reaches a nadir at night during sleep in humans.

Up to 75% of diabetic patients are non-dippers. However, the mechanisms underlying diabetes associated non-dipping BP are largely unknown.

Abstract:

In the US today, blood transfusion is safer than ever. Nevertheless, the century-old quest for a suitable blood substitute persists. The elimination of unwanted side effects, especially transfusion-transmitted diseases, the problems and high cost factor involved in collecting and storing human blood, the pending worldwide shortages, and the need for compatibility testing are the driving forces contributing towards the development of blood substitutes. The leading research is focusing on hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers (HBOCs), which are limited in clinical application due to the pressor effec

Abstract:

<p>The aim of the work was to investigate the possibility to combine information from PPG and bio-acoustic technology to extract information that is related to the blood pressure. The measurements have been carried out with several different configurations. First the relation between arterial sounds and the PPG-signal was studied. After those measurements with both PPG and the bio- acoustic technique was concluded on people in different positions and after riding a bike. The goal was to vary the blood pressure. The conclusion that can be drawn in this report is that the bio-acoustic and the PP
