Meanings of aortic pressures in English

Background: To investigate red wine's acute effects on aortic pressures and arterial stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).

At 4 wk, the left ventricular peak systolic (LVSP) as well as aortic pressures were depressed in the diabetic group.

Moreover, it seems that peripheral pressure measurements might have underestimated caffeine pressor effects, as a significantly greater response is observed in aortic pressures.

Aortic pressures were measured directly from the ascending aorta by a pressure gauge.

Aortic pressures were measured directly with a fluid-filled catheter.

Aortic diameters were measured simultaneously with aortic pressures with an elastic, air-filled ring connected to a transducer.

Aortic diameters were measured by echocardiography and aortic pressures were measured directly by catheterization of the ascending aorta.
