Sentence examples for peripheral augmentation from inspiring English sources
PAIx: Peripheral Augmentation Index.
The peripheral augmentation index (PAIx) is a measurement taken directly from the late systolic shoulder of the peripheral arterial waveform.
They also described the close correlation of AASI with pulse wave velocity (PWV) as well as central and peripheral augmentation indices [ 6].
There were no significant differences between treatments on PWVc-f, supine blood pressure, plasma 8-isoprostane F2α-III concentration, central and peripheral augmentation indexes, digital volume pulse reflection index, or DVPSI.
The central and peripheral augmentation indexes are markers of arterial stiffness which together with aortic systolic pressure and aortic pulse pressure complement the information afforded by pulse wave velocity.
Cardiovascular risk factors, renal function by creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, and albumin creatinine index were also obtained, as well as cardiac TOD with ECG and vascular TOD and carotid intima media thickness (IMT), carotid femoral PWV (cf-PWV), and the central and peripheral augmentation index (CAIx and PAIx).
Later, Takazawa et al. [15] researched the radial (peripheral) pulse augmentation index (rAI) and found that rAI is the ratio of the height of late systolic pressure to the early systolic pressure.
Measurements were made after 15 min supine rest with blood pressure recorded in triplicate by using an automated sphygmomanometer (Omron 705CP; Omron Healthcare); peripheral and central augmentation indexes were also determined with the SphygmoCor device by an analysis of the radial arterial waveform obtained by tonometry.
Peripheral pulse pressure wave augmentation and carotid compliance were not associated with NT-proBNP or CCS, CIMT and PAD.
Secondary outcome measures include augmentation index, peripheral and central blood pressures, physical activity and self-reported health.
Radiolucent lines were detected beneath the metal blocks in 62 % (n = 16) of the knees treated with metal block augmentation for peripheral deficits.
