The purpose of this study was to relate baroreflex sensitivity to age and arterial pressure in
61 male and 20 female untreated subjects, aged 19-66 years, whose mean arterial pressures …

… The evidence described in this paper, together with that previously reported by Gribbin et
al., (1976), provides substantial support for the use of PWV as an index of blood pressure …

The reflex bradycardia produced by a transient phenylephrine-induced rise of arterial
pressure was investigated in man during rest and supine exercise, before and after autonomic …

Background The role of percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) in the
management of patients with angina remains controversial, particularly in patients whose …

Paradoxical embolism occurs following the passage of embolic material from the venous to
the arterial circulation through a right to left shunt—frequently a patent foramen ovale. The …

1. The pulse-wave velocity along the brachial radial artery was measured in 38 subjects
and volume distensibility values were calculated. 2. Measurements made at each subject's …

Fungal endocarditis is usually seen in patients with prosthetic heart valves or in drug addicts.'Diagnosis
may prove difficult because blood cultures may be negative and serological tests …

Coagulase-negative staphylococci cause about 5% of native-valve endocarditis. Staphylococcus
lugdunensis, a recently-described species of coagulasenegative staphylococci, has …

… In the present study, we used a technique, originally described by Gribbin et al. (10), which
caiculates forearm arterial distensibility from measurements of pulse wave velocity. The …
