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 ...

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 ...

IN 1888 Graham Steell described his now famous left-sternal-border diastolic murmur and attributed its origin to pulmonary regurgitation caused by high pressure in the pulmonary artery in patients ...

Background: Resistance training has been increasingly incorporated into the overall exercise programme because of its effect on muscle strength, functional capacity and osteoporosis. High-intensity ...
