Figure 2 illustrates the familiar arterial pressure waveform representative of the non-IAB-pumped patient. Systole is normally the highest pressure point generated. The aortic valve opens ...

Pulsus paradoxus also occurs in severe asthma or COPD exacerbations. The above image shows an arterial pressure waveform tracing superimposed with the respiratory cycle, showing a significant ...

Pulsus paradoxus is the term used to describe an exaggerated blood pressure variation with the respiratory cycle. This can be found in cardiac tamponade or during chronic obstructive pulmonary ...

Blood pressure, arterial pressure and heart rate were generally ... "It is crucial to carefully consider the subject's posture during [pulse wave velocity] measurements to accurately assess ...

This paper reviews arterial pressure waveforms and contrasts the differences in waveforms imposed by intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation. It explores questions regarding blood pressure ...
