The impact of heart rate on pulse wave velocity: an in-silico evaluation

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Background: Clinical and experimental evidence regarding the influence of heart rate (HR) on arterial stiffness and its surrogate marker carotid-to-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is conflicting. We aimed to evaluate the effect of HR on cf-PWV measure ...

Detection of myocardial medium‐chain fatty acid oxidation and tricarboxylic acid cycle activity with hyperpolarized [1– 13 C]octanoate

Arnaud Comment, Josefina Adriana Maria Bastiaansen, Hikari Ananda Infinity Yoshihara

Under normal conditions, the heart mainly relies on fatty acid oxidation to meet its energy needs. Changes in myocardial fuel preference are noted in the diseased and failing heart. The magnetic resonance signal enhancement provided by spin hyperpolarizati ...

Brainstem Correlates of a Cold Pressor Test Measured by Ultra-High Field fMRI

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Olivier Benoit Thomas Reynaud, Domenica Bueti, Fatma Megdiche

Introduction Modern imaging techniques such as blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) allow the non-invasive and indirect measurement of brain activity. Whether changes in signal intensity can be detected in small ...

Noninvasive estimation of aortic hemodynamics and cardiac contractility using machine learning

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Georgios Rovas, Vasiliki Bikia, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Cardiac and aortic characteristics are crucial for cardiovascular disease detection. However, noninvasive estimation of aortic hemodynamics and cardiac contractility is still challenging. This paper investigated the potential of estimating aortic systolic ...

Hemodynamics of ageing, ventricular-arterial coupling and noninvasive assessment of key hemodynamical and cardiac quantities

Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Ageing is a natural process that affects both the anatomical and functional properties of the cardiovascular system and alters the coupling characteristics between the heart and the aorta. These alterations may predispose the cardiovascular system in the d ...

Oxygen availability in a HAPE-positive and a HAPE-negative woman before and during a visit to 3480 meters

Johannes Burtscher

Background: Testing the hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) at low-altitude helps to detect those who do not hyperventilate appropriately in hypoxia but might not necessarily predict the HVR and the risk to develop acute mountain sickness (AMS) at high alti ...

AltitudeOmics: Spontaneous Baroreflex Sensitivity During Acclimatization to 5,260 m: A Comparison of Methods

Jean-Marc Vesin, Sasan Yazdani

Introduction Baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) is essential to ensure rapid adjustment to variations in blood pressure (BP). Spontaneous baroreflex function can be assessed using continuous recordings of blood pressure. The goal of this study was to compare fou ...

Are Pre-ascent Low-Altitude Saliva Cortisol Levels Related to the Subsequent Acute Mountain Sickness Score? Observations from a Field Study

Johannes Burtscher

Background: The associations among cortisol levels, body water status, and acute mountain sickness (AMS) remain unclear. We investigated associations between AMS prevalence and severity with resting saliva cortisol levels at low altitude (LA) and high alti ...

Computational fluid dynamics of blood flow in an idealized left human heart

Alfio Quarteroni, Filippo Menghini

We construct an idealized computational model of the left human heart for the study of the blood flow dynamics in the left atrium and ventricle. We solve the Navier-Stokes equations in the ALE formulation and we prescribe the left heart wall displacement b ...
