Effect of cold, isometric exercise, and combination of both on aortic pulse in healthy subjects

Effect of cold, isometric exercise, and combination of both on aortic pulse in healthy subjects

The aortic pulse-wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index were measured in 24 healthy adults at baseline, during a cold pressor test (CPT), during hand-grip isometric exercise test (HIE), and during a combination of CPT plus HIE. The PWV and augmentation index increased significantly during CPT an...
