Smaller aortic dimensions do not fully account for the greater pulse pressure in elderly female hypertensives by Dart, A., Kingwell, B., Gatzka, C., Willson, K., Liang, Y., Berry, K., Wing, L., Reid, Christopher, Ryan, P., Beilin, L., Jennings, G., Johnston, C., McNeil, J., MacDonald, G., Morgan, T., West, M., Cameron, J.

“…In multivariate analyses gender remained a predictor of central pulse pressure (P<0.001) even with inclusion of aortic dimensions (P=0.013) height and weight. …”

Sex differences in associations of arterial compliance with coronary artery plaque and calcification burden by Coutinho, T., Yam, Y., Dwivedi, Girish, Inácio, J., Chow, B.

“…Indexed AC was calculated as stroke volume index/central pulse pressure. We used step-wise multivariable linear regression to assess associations of log indexed AC with log (percent plaque score+1) and log (coronary artery calcification+1). …”

Associations between sub-clinical markers of cardiometabolic risk and exposure to residential indoor air pollutants in healthy adults in Perth, Western Australia: A study protocol by Gilbey, Sue, Reid, Christopher, Huxley, Rachel, Soares, Mario, Zhao, Yun, Rumchev, Krassi

“…Study subjects were invited to participate in all sections of the study, which included: Domestic indoor air monitoring along with the concurrent 24 h ambulatory monitoring of peripheral and central blood pressure and measures of central hemodynamic indices, standardized questionnaires on aspects relating to current health status and the domestic environment, a 24 h time-activity diary during the monitoring period, and clinic-based health assessment involving collection of blood and urine biomarkers for lipid and glucose profiles, as well as measures of renal function and an analysis of central pulse wave and pulse wave velocity. Results: This study provides a standardized approach to the study of sub-clinical cardiometabolic health effects that are related to the exposure to indoor air pollution. …”

β2-adrenoceptor gene polymorphisms and hypertension in African Trinidadians by Cross, Deborah Jane

“…Methods The study genotyped 408 African Trinidadian subjects for the β2-adrenoceptor polymorphism and used the technique of applanation tonometry to analyse the central pulse wave, generating information on arterial compliance, left ventricular function and coronary perfusion. …”
