DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Recently, while walking on my home treadmill, I stepped off to check my pulse. Normally a walk like the one I was taking would raise it to 110. I did so by pressing two fingers ...

For intima and media thickness of carotid artery, but not for the aortic pulse wave velocity, the relationship remained significant after adjustment for confounders.

Carotid Artery Pulses Next, palpate between the SCM and the trachea to feel the carotid artery pulse. Have the patient turn slightly toward you to relax the neck muscles.

Postoperatively, a weak pulse returned to the carotid artery, but no pulse return was noted in the subclavian.

Gently palpate the carotid pulse just below the angle of the jaw. Massage the pulsation for 3-5 seconds by pushing in and back to compress the artery.

The UI team validated the new instrument's performance against the carotid-femoral-artery pulse wave velocity tests, considered the gold standard for determining aortic stiffness.

COVID-19 is associated with early vascular aging, as assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), an established biomarker of large artery stiffness, and this association is particularly ...

Using rabbit carotid arteries, we first optimized gene transfer efficiency, and firefly luciferase gene transfer via electronic pulse under 20 voltage (the pulse length: Pontime 20 ms, the pulse ...

Among the participants, 54% had significant carotid artery stenosis, meaning they had at least 50% blockage that was previously diagnosed by ultrasound, while 46% did not have significant stenosis.

Carotid artery stenosis refers to a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the brain from the heart. Also called carotid artery disease, the condition reduces the supply of blood to the ...
