Abstract:
Quantitative assessment of vascular calcification is important in understanding the mechanisms of vascular aging. To elucidate the progress of calcification with aging, we measured calcium contents in various blood vessels by atomic emission spectrometry and analysis of X-ray CT image. These quantitative assessments revealed that the progress of calcification was different by arterial region. A novel diagnosis considering the difference of calcification progress will provide useful information for understanding vascular ageing.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
