Summary: The study aimed to determine the effects of various aerobic training protocols on arterial compliance and hemodynamic responses. The findings suggest that the duration and intensity of exercise play a crucial role in improving arterial elasticity, systemic vascular resistance, and total vascular impedance. Additionally, exercising for 20 minutes with blood flow restriction at 40% V?o(2)max may yield similar modifications in pulse wave velocity as seen after 60 minutes of exercise at 65% V?o(2)max.

Summary: The study found that structural changes in small renal arteries were closely associated with central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity, indicating a strong correlation between arteriolar remodeling and abnormalities in central hemodynamics. These results suggest that aortic stiffness and abnormal central hemodynamics are closely linked to renal microvascular damage in young to middle-aged, nondiabetic kidney disease patients with preserved renal function.

Summary: This study proposes a novel method for accurately estimating central blood pressure using only a single peripheral pressure measurement, without the need for additional clinical measurements. The method allows for the individualization of transfer functions to better capture changes in patient condition during disease progression and treatment.

Summary: This study aims to identify pulse wave features for a more accurate estimation of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) from a single radial pulse wave measurement. The results show that the amplitude ratio of the diastolic peak to the notch of the radial pulse waveform is correlated with cfPWV and this correlation may not be dependent on wave reflection.

Summary: This study investigated the associations between urinary angiotensinogen (AGT) excretion and central and renal hemodynamic parameters in middle-aged and older adults, including chronic kidney disease patients. The findings showed that urinary AGT levels were related to aortic blood pressures, pulsatile measures of renal blood flow, plasma NT-proBNP, and urinary L-FABP levels. These results provide clinical evidence for the potential role of intrarenal RAS activity in the development of cardio-renal syndrome (CRS).

Summary: This study evaluated aortic distensibility and pulse waveform patterns associated with ascending aortic aneurysm, and analyzed the hemodynamic changes induced by prosthetic replacement of the ascending aorta. The results showed that replacing the ascending aorta with a noncompliant vascular prosthesis did not worsen global aortic distensibility.

Summary: The study found that in patients with shock, both oscillometric blood pressure monitoring devices were successful in completing hemodynamic assessments, but there were significant differences between invasive and non-invasive techniques. There were discrepancies in pulse wave velocity measurements between the two devices. Non-invasive peripheral blood pressure measurement may not always be successful in certain circumstances.

Summary: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of mortality and morbidity in Malaysia and worldwide. The prevalence of risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, and obesity has contributed to this trend. Increased physical activity, as assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWVCF), augmentation index (AI), and finger photoplethysmography fitness (PPGF) index, has been associated with improved CVD risk factors. However, the effects of long-term exercise on PPGF index are still unclear.

Summary: This study describes the task of developing a mechanism to predict hemodynamic parameters based on non-invasive hydrocuff technology of pulse wave signal fixation. A new method for measuring hemodynamic parameters and blood pressure values using hydrocuff is proposed, along with a block diagram of the device and algorithms for processing the pulse wave contour. The study shows that the pulse wave contours obtained using hydrocuff technology can be used to determine the ratio of heart and blood vessel work, forming an expanded feature space for neural network classifiers.

Summary: The study showed that the hemodynamic response of firefighters to different training scenarios did not change over time, but OSB scenarios resulted in higher pulse wave velocity and blood pressure. Therefore, environmental thermal burden, strenuous exercise, and psychological and environmental stress should be taken into consideration when designing fire training scenarios.

Summary: The performance degradation and damage caused by sweat, water, or submersion have hindered the commercialization and routinization of e-textiles. However, a new amphibious, high-performance, air-permeable, and comfortable all-textile triboelectric sensor has been developed for continuous and precise measurement of epidermal pulse waves. With a unique one-piece preparation process, this sensor exhibits high sensitivity, wide bandwidth, and stability. It has achieved a high agreement with a laser vibrometer and shows potential in improving the practicality of e-textiles and early diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases.

Summary: Professional societies and guideline writing committees emphasize the importance of accurate blood pressure measurement, but most regulatory authorities do not require validation for blood pressure measurement devices. This has resulted in a global proliferation of non-validated devices, which can lead to inaccurate blood pressure estimates and impact clinical diagnosis and treatment.

These validated devices provide similar blood pressure values to manual measurement, making them the recommended standard for hypertension diagnosis and management globally.

Summary: Clinically validated, automated arm-cuff blood pressure measuring devices are recommended for accurate measurement. However, most devices available for consumers lack proper validation, which increases the risk of misdiagnosis and mismanagement of blood pressure. Validated device lists have been developed to address this issue, but there are still challenges to overcome.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the relationship between CVD risk factors and exercise blood pressure (BP), and to identify the most strongly related risk factors. The results showed that many CVD risk factors are associated with exercise BP, mostly through indirect effects via clinic BP. Clinic BP, body composition, and fitness were found to be the most strongly associated with exercise BP.

Summary: The knowledge and practice of salt-reduction among the Chinese population are low, with most people lacking related knowledge and not taking corresponding measures. Older adults and those living in rural areas have lower levels of salt-reduction knowledge and less use of salt-control spoons and low-sodium salt.
