On the assessment of arterial compliance from carotid pressure waveform

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

In a progressively aging population, it is of utmost importance to develop reliable, noninvasive, and cost-effective tools to estimate biomarkers that can be indicative of cardiovascular risk. Various pathophysiological conditions are associated to changes ...

In vivo application and validation of a novel noninvasive method to estimate the end-systolic elastance

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

Accurate assessment of the left ventricular (LV) systolic function is indispensable in the clinic. However, estimation of a precise index of cardiac contractility, i.e., the end-systolic elastance (E-es), is invasive and cannot be established as clinical r ...

Biomechanics of diastolic dysfunction: a one-dimensional computational modeling approach

Quentin Christian Marie Michel Mercier, Karim Hesham Ahmed Kadry Abdelmeguid, Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is a major component of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Accordingly. a profound understanding of the underlying biomechanical mechanisms involved in DD is needed to elucidate all aspects of HFpEF. In this ...

On the importance of the nonuniform aortic stiffening in the hemodynamics of physiological aging

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Bram Trachet, Stamatia Zoi Pagoulatou

Mathematical models of the arterial tree constitute a valuable tool to investigate the hemodynamics of aging and pathology. Rendering such models as patient specific could allow for the assessment of central hemodynamic variables of clinical interest. Howe ...

On the similarity between aortic and carotid pressure diastolic decay: a mathematical modelling study

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos

Aortic diastolic pressure decay (DPD) has been shown to have considerable pathophysiological relevance in the assessment of vascular health, as it is significantly affected by arterial stiffening. Nonetheless, the aortic pressure waveform is rarely availab ...

Nature Portfolio2023

Novel theory and potential applications of central diastolic pressure decay time constant

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, Sokratis Anagnostopoulos

Central aortic diastolic pressure decay time constant ( ) is according to the two-element Windkessel model equal to the product of total peripheral resistance (R) times total arterial compliance (C ). As such, it is related to arterial stiffness, which has ...

Determination of Aortic Characteristic Impedance and Total Arterial Compliance From Regional Pulse Wave Velocities Using Machine Learning: An in-silico Study

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

In-vivo assessment of aortic characteristic impedance (Zao) and total arterial compliance (CT) has been hampered by the need for either invasive or inconvenient and expensive methods to access simultaneous recordings of aortic pressure and flow, wall thick ...

Acute effects of transcatheter aortic valve replacement on the ventricular-aortic interaction

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

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is increasingly used to treat severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients. However, little is known regarding the direct effect of TAVR on the ventricular-aortic interaction. In the present study, we aimed to investig ...

Testing an inverse modeling approach with gradient boosting regression for stroke volume estimation using patient thermodilution data

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas

Stroke volume (SV) is a major indicator of cardiovascular function, providing essential information about heart performance and blood flow adequacy. Accurate SV measurement is particularly important for assessing patients with heart failure, managing patie ...

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

Nikolaos Stergiopoulos, Vasiliki Bikia, Georgios Rovas, 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 ...
