Elevated Indoxyl Sulfate Levels Correlate with Increased Aortic Stiffness in Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantation [PDF]

Toxins
Although kidney transplantation (KT) restores renal function, residual uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), may persist and contribute to vascular remodeling and aging.

Aortic stiffness in hidradenitis suppurativa: A case-control study

Dermatologica Sinica, 2021
Background: Although increased aortic stiffness has been observed in chronic inflammatory skin diseases, it has not been examined in patients with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS).

Elevated Aortic Stiffness after Pediatric Heart Transplantation. [PDF]

Pediatr Cardiol, 2022
Abstract Background: In adults, arterial stiffness has been linked to the development of target end-organ damage, thought to be related to abnormal transmission of pulse pressure. Increased arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction have been hypothesized to contribute to the development of microvascular dysfunction and coronary allograft ...

Echocardiographic evaluation of Takayasu arteritis including speckled tracking echocardiography and aortic stiffness [PDF]

Indian Heart Journal
Introduction: Despite the burden of Takayasu's arteritis (TA) in India, data on LA, LV and RV strain and aortic stiffness is scanty. Aims: We assessed these in 100 TA patients (mean age 29.8 years, 70 % females) and correlated with disease activity and ...

The influence of aortic stiffness on carotid stiffness: computational simulations using a human aorta carotid model [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science
Increased aortic and carotid stiffness are independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular events. Arterial stiffness is not uniform across the arterial tree and its accurate assessment is challenging.

Serum Malondialdehyde-Modified Low-Density Lipoprotein Level May Be a Biomarker Associated with Aortic Stiffness Among Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis [PDF]

Life
Background: Serum malondialdehyde-oxidized low-density lipoprotein (MDA-oxLDL) is associated with atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Psychological Wellbeing and Aortic Stiffness [PDF]

Hypertension, 2020
This study investigated 2 distinct aspects of positive wellbeing: affective wellbeing and eudaimonia with progression of aortic stiffness, an index of subclinical cardiovascular disease. A total of 4754 participants (mean age 65.3 years, 3466 men, and 1288 women) from the Whitehall II cohort study provided data on affective and eudaimonic wellbeing ...

The association between cardiac magnetic resonance-derived aortic stiffness parameters and aortic dilation in young adults with bicuspid aortic valve: With and without coarctation of aorta

American Heart Journal Plus, 2022
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is associated with progressive aortic dilation. Studies in aortopathies have shown a correlation between increased aortic stiffness and aortic dilation.

Biological Pathways in Adolescent Aortic Stiffness [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2021
Background Aortic stiffening begins in youth and antedates future hypertension. In adults, excess weight, systemic inflammation, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, neurohormonal activation, and altered adipokines are implicated in the pathogenesis of increased aortic stiffness.

Reversal of aging-induced increases in aortic stiffness by targeting cytoskeletal protein-protein interfaces [PDF]

, 2018
BACKGROUND: The proximal aorta normally functions as a critical shock absorber that protects small downstream vessels from damage by pressure and flow pulsatility generated by the heart during systole.
