Introduction: The interest on computational simulations of biomedical models has increased in the last years. Nevertheless, the viscous properties of vessel all are usually neglected. Materials and Methods: A 1D model of blood flow and its interaction with the arterial wall was implemented. Non-viscous modeling and the addition of a wall-viscosity term were considered. The goodness of fit in each...
The analysis of carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWVcr) changes in response to forearm transient ischemia (TI) has been proposed as an alternative approach to evaluate endothelial function. Consider flow mediated dilatation tests, PWVcr changes are characterized after 5 minutes of TI. It is unknown if lower TI times could be used and if different TI times would result in different PWVcr responses...
The value of mean arterial pressure (MBP) is of clinical importance, and is required for peripheral resistance calculation as well as for central blood pressure calibration procedures. MBP is usually estimated at the upper arm using systolic and diastolic sphygmomanometers pressure values, as 33% of pulse pressure (PP) above diastolic pressure. In a previous work, we proposed to use 38%. The aim of...
