This paper reviews arterial pressure waveforms and contrasts the differences in waveforms imposed by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. It explores questions regarding blood pressure ...

Systolic, diastolic, and mean arterial pressures (MAP) are the 3 BP values typically reported; to interpret a BP reading, all 3 must be evaluated. Systolic and diastolic BP are the pressures at the ...

Imagine checking your blood pressure as easily as glancing at a smartwatch—without the squeeze of a cuff. That future may be ...

The new device uses sound waves to gather blood pressure data from blood vessels, monitoring the response with ultrasound. The new technique, called resonance sonomanometry, holds the promise to ...

After some mathematical wizardry for clarity, the team noted similarities between the kind of PPG waveforms produced by smartwatch sensors and the APG waveform, with "an improved view of cardiac ...

A wearable patch the size of a postage stamp that can monitor blood pressure continuously could soon help people manage their hypertension. Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, who ...

A concept design showing what the team envisions as final products using the resonance sonomanometry blood pressure method. The device on the upper arm measures from the brachial artery and the ...
