Meanings of augmentation index in английском

Central BP and augmentation index were determined by tonometry.

Applanation tonometry was used to derive aortic systolic and diastolic blood pressure and augmentation index.

Wave reflections were assessed by the measurement of heart rate corrected augmentation index (AIx75).

Arterial stiffness was assessed using fingertip tonometry and the heart rate-adjusted augmentation index (AI).

Reconstruction of augmentation index was poor.

The heart rate-corrected augmentation index (AIx75) was estimated as a composite marker of wave reflections and arterial stiffness.

Aortic stiffness was evaluated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and wave reflection with augmentation index of the aortic pressure waveform.

Methods: Aortic stiffness was evaluated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and wave reflection with augmentation index of the aortic pressure waveform.

Both fosinopril and atenolol normalized blood pressure and lowered the elevated augmentation index, but fosinopril had a significantly larger effect than atenolol.

Conclusions: Aorto-radial pulse wave velocity, but not central aortic augmentation index, is associated with both the extent and severity of coronary artery disease.

Aortic stiffness index and aortic augmentation index (AI) are indices for the estimation of arterial stiffness and pressure wave reflections, respectively.

There appear to be systematic errors in derived central pressure waveforms and derived aortic augmentation index is inaccurate compared to the directly measured value.

Aortic elastic properties were evaluated with carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; wave reflection was evaluated with augmentation index and augmented pressure of the aortic pressure waveform.

Background: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) surgery provides a unique opportunity to study the impact of arterial stiffness on central haemodynamics, reflected in augmentation index (AI).

Conclusion: Augmentation index is a marker of extensive extracoronary atherosclerosis in patients with CAD.

Augmentation index increased significantly following regular coffee consumption.
