Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between systemic vascular resistance (SVR), finger & ear photoplethysmographic measurements in 14 adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
Methods: Patients were monitored with photoplethysmographs of the finger and ear and continuous cardiac output (QT) via thermodilution catheter. The relationship between SVR, finger plethysmographic amplitude, width and ear plethysmographic amplitude, width was assessed with linear regression.
Results: The finger plethysmographic amplitude had a low correlation r value = -0.15, while finger plethysmographic width had a better correlation r value = 0.56. The correlation between SVR and ear plethysmographic amplitude and width were -0.24 and 0.62 respectively. Using receiver operating characteristic analysis the ear plethysmographic width had both better sensitivity and specificity than the finger plethysmographic width in identifying high and low SVR. Using a multiple regression analysis, SVR was estimated from the pulse oximeter waveforms: SVR calculated = 27.27 + (3978.53 x Ear pulse oximeter width) - (8.91 x Ear pulse oximeter area) + (1986.3 x Finger pulse oximeter width). Bland-Altman analysis was used the bias was 29.8 dynes s cm(-5), standard deviation was 587.3, upper and lower limit of agreement were 1204.45, and -1144.8 dynes s cm(-5) respectively.
Conclusion: The data indicate that pulse width of finger and ear plethysmographic tracing are more sensitive to changes in SVR than the other indices. An appreciation of changes in pulse width may provide valuable evidence with respect to changes in peripheral vascular tone.

Introduction: Timely identification of the need for lifesaving intervention in battlefield conditions may be improved through automated monitoring of the injured warfighter. Technologies that combine maximal noninvasive insight with minimal equipment footprint give the greatest opportunity for deployment at scale with inexperienced providers in forward areas. Finger photoplethysmography (PPG) signatures are associated with impending hemorrhagic shock but may be insufficient alone.

Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the baroreflex sensitivity alterations in regulating arterial blood pressure during prolonged isometric exercise at different intensities in elite artistic gymnastic athletes compared to non-athletes.
Methods: Fourteen young males participated in the study; 7 international level artistic gymnastics athletes and 7 physically active students inexperienced to isometric or resistance training. On two occasions, both groups performed 3 minutes of isometric handgrip exercise either at 30% or 50% of maximum voluntary contraction (MVC), in a randomized order.

Short and insufficient sleep are prevalent and associated with cardiovascular disease, with the sympathetic nervous system as a suspected mediator. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the association between objective, actigraphy-based total sleep time (TST), sleep efficiency (SE), and cardiovascular and sympathetic regulation in healthy adults. We hypothesized that short TST and low SE would be associated with elevated resting blood pressure, heart rate (HR), and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA).

Background: Compared to the invasive technique, non-invasive monitoring of arterial pressure favors easier and faster implementation while potentially sacrificing some reliability. This may be particularly true for the Clearsight™ system (Edwards Lifesciences), which enables continuous monitoring. We evaluated the risk factors for its poor performance.
