Chronic Nicotine Exposure Induces Murine Aortic Remodeling and Stiffness Segmentation—Implications for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Susceptibility [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Aim: Arterial stiffness is a significant risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Nicotine, the major active ingredient of e-cigarettes and tobacco smoke, induces acute vasomotor effects that may ...

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 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.

Impact of kidney transplantation on aortic stiffness and aortic stiffness index β0

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
BACKGROUND: In chronic kidney disease, the enhanced aortic stiffness increases risk of cardiovascular events. Kidney transplantation (KTx) may improve aortic stiffness; however, it is unclear whether the improvement of aortic stiffness is merely the ...

Carotid Artery and Aortic Stiffness Evaluation in Aortic Stenosis [PDF]

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2014
In aortic stenosis (AS), the combination of risk factors can progressively lead to an increased arterial rigidity, which can be evaluated by the carotid artery and aortic stiffness (β index). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between carotid and aortic β index, left ventricular (LV) function, plasma brain natriuretic peptide ...

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 ...

Aortic Stiffness and Alzheimer's Disease: The Medin Connection. [PDF]

Biomolecules
Aging is associated with aortic stiffening (AoSt), a condition characterized by diminished aortic elasticity that predisposes individuals to cognitive decline, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Emerging evidence implicates medin, which is derived from milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 protein (MFG-E8), as a key link between AoSt and AD.

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.
