1. BLOOD PRESSURE VARIABILITY AND ARTERIAL STIFFNESS

Michel E. Safar
Pages: 119 - 121
Blood pressure variability (BPV) is defined by the standard deviation of a given sample of population of normotensive or hypertensive subjects. Recent studies have suggested that this parameter might constitute a cardiovascular risk factor. Reduction of blood pressure variability could be an important...

Pages: 122 - 127
The lasting legacy of Donald McDonald has been in the establishment of physiological and biophysical principles of the relation of blood pressure and flow in arteries. This relation is determined by physical properties of arteries, among which wall stiffness is a dominant parameter. Increased arterial...
