In the present work, we report a novel, in vivo, noninvasive technique to determine radial arterial compliance using the radial arterial pressure pulse waveform (RAPPW) acquired by fiber Bragg grating ...

Recently, a new device based on an oscillometric method has been developed for the measurement of brachial artery cross-sectional area, which is virtually identical to the diameter. This measurement ...

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology Madrashave proposed a magnet-based sensor that would allow scientists to measure the velocity of blood pulse waves within the carotid artery. Each ...

For palpation, use your fingertips or the area between the metacarpophalangeal and proximal interphalangeal joints. Practice and attention will determine which area is most sensitive for you. The ...

Each heavy vertical line represents two-tenths second. Note the double systolic sound associated with the double summit of the pulsus bisferiens in this case of severe aortic stenosis. The purpose of ...

Have the patient turn slightly toward you to relax the neck muscles, and palpate gently between the sternocleidomastoid (SCM) and the trachea. Do not go above the thyroid cartilage to avoid ...

In an effort to identify how the elasticity of the arteries in the brain correlates with aging well, researchers used optical methods developed in their lab to map out the pulse pressure of the entire ...

That rhythmic thump beneath your fingertips isn’t just proof you’re alive—it’s a sophisticated early warning system broadcasting critical messages about what’s happening inside your blood vessels.
