Background Noninvasive central blood pressure (BP) independently predicts mortality, but
current methods are operator-dependent, requiring skill to obtain quality recordings. The aims …

Importance There is consistent evidence of the association between ideal cardiovascular
health and lower incident cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, most studies used a single …

Objectives: The reference standard for noninvasive estimation of central blood pressure (BP)
is radial tonometry calibrated using brachial SBP and DBP. Brachial-to-radial-SBP …

Exercise-induced albuminuria is common in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in
response to maximal exercise, but the response to light-moderate exercise is unclear. …

Aim Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with gray matter atrophy. Adiposity and
physical inactivity are risk factors for T2D and brain atrophy. We studied whether the …

Purpose It is widely thought that excess pulsatile pressure from increased stiffness of large
central arteries (macro-vasculature) is transmitted to capillary networks (micro-vasculature) …

Background Central hemodynamics help to maintain appropriate cerebral and other end-organ
perfusion, and may be altered with ageing and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We …

BACKGROUND Aortic reservoir function independently predicts end-organ damage in cross-sectional
analyses. However, longitudinal associations are more important regarding …

Background Augmentation index (AIx) is regarded as a marker of systemic arterial stiffness.
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have increased arterial stiffness, but not AIx, …

BACKGROUND: Evaluation of cardiac output (CO) and other haemodynamic parameters
may aid in understanding factors involved in arterial blood pressure (BP) changes with …
