...K. D. Hopkins; E. D. Lehmann; R. G. Gosling; J. R. Parker; P. H. Sönksen 1. Non-invasive aortic compliance measurements have been used previously to assess the distensibility of the aorta in several pathological conditions associated with increased cardiovascular risk. In adult patients...

...E. D. Lehmann; G. F. Watts; B. Fatemi-Langroudi; R. G. Gosling 1. Aortic compliance and plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured in 20 young patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia and in 20 age- and sex-matched control subjects. 2. Patients with familial...

...J. S. Wright; J. K. Cruickshank; S. Kontis; Caroline Doré; R. G. Gosling 1. Aortic compliance (expressed as percentage increase in lumen diameter for a pulse pressure of 10 mmHg) was calculated from the characteristic pulse wave velocity deduced from ‘foot to foot’ transit times of the blood flow...

...C. L. Alicandri; R. Fariello; E. Agabiti-Rosei; G. Romanelli; G. Muiesan 1. Aortic compliance and plasma catecholamine levels were determined in 26 essential hypertensive patients: 14<45 years (group 1) and 12>45 years (group 2). 2. Aortic rigidity, the reciprocal of aortic compliance...
