Article Abstract

Today, cardiovascular diseases threaten human health worldwide. In clinical practice, it has been concluded that analyzing the pulse waveform can provide clinically valuable information for the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. Accordingly, continuous and accurate monitoring of the pulse wave is essential for the prevention and detection of cardiovascular diseases. Wearable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are emerging as a pulse wave monitoring biotechnology due to their compelling characteristics, including being self-powered, light-weight, and wear-resistant, as well as featuring user-friendliness and superior sensitivity. Herein, a comprehensive review is conducted on the progress of wearable TENGs for pulse wave monitoring. Firstly, the four modes of operation of TENG are briefly described. Secondly, TENGs for pulse wave monitoring are classified into two categories, namely wearable flexible film-based TENG sensors and textile-based TENG sensors. Next, the materials, fabrication methods, working mechanisms, and experimental performance of various TENG-based sensors are summarized. It concludes by comparing the characteristics of the two types of TENGs and discussing the potential development and challenges of TENG-based sensors in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases and personalized healthcare.

We introduce a novel method using a kilohertz (kHz) amplified 800 nm laser for the first experimental confinement of microparticles within a single beam. This study demonstrates that high-energy kHz pulses can confine 1-μm-radius polystyrene beads in water within ∼26 μm. This approach utilizes the unique properties of high-energy pulsed lasers, distinct from continuous-wave and megahertz pulsed lasers traditionally used in optical trapping.

Arterial Stiffness in HFpEF: From Clinical Insight to Bedside Action.

Cardiol Rev

September 2025

From the Department of General Medicine, J.S.S. Medical College, JSS Academy of Higher Education and Research, Mysuru, India.

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for nearly half of all heart failure cases and is increasing in prevalence due to aging populations and comorbidities such as hypertension and diabetes. While echocardiography remains the diagnostic cornerstone, many patients with preserved ejection fraction present with nonspecific symptoms and ambiguous diastolic indices, leading to diagnostic uncertainty and therapeutic delay. Arterial stiffness-quantified by pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, and cardio-ankle vascular index)-is emerging as a key contributor to HFpEF pathophysiology.

Associations of cardiovascular health with arterial health in adults free of cardiovascular disease.

Background: In adults without cardiovascular disease (CVD), there is limited understanding of the association between overall cardiovascular health (CVH) and arterial health.

Methods: In 2330 Framingham Heart Study Offspring participants free of CVD (60±9 years; 57% women) with Life's Essential 8 (LE8) and applanation tonometry data (Exam 7), we calculated CVH scores per American Heart Association's LE8 guidelines. Multivariable-adjusted regression analyses examined the relations of LE8 with aortic stiffness and pressure pulsatility [negative inverse carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (niCFPWV), central pulse pressure (CPP), respectively], and examined effect modification by age and sex.

Vascular aging is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in the older individuals. Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the primary active compound in green tea, exhibits cardiovascular protective effects. However, its effect and the underlying mechanism of the same on vascular aging remain unclear.
