Lower Serum Selenoprotein P Levels Are Associated with Aortic Stiffness in Patients Receiving Maintenance Hemodialysis [PDF]
DiagnosticsBackground/Objectives: Selenoprotein P (SePP) has been linked to cardiovascular risk, but its relationship with aortic stiffness in patients on maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) is unclear. This study examined that association.

Elevated Indoxyl Sulfate Levels Correlate with Increased Aortic Stiffness in Patients Undergoing Kidney Transplantation [PDF]
ToxinsAlthough kidney transplantation (KT) restores renal function, residual uremic toxins, such as indoxyl sulfate (IS), may persist and contribute to vascular remodeling and aging.

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 ...

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

Echocardiographic evaluation of Takayasu arteritis including speckled tracking echocardiography and aortic stiffness [PDF]
Indian Heart JournalIntroduction: 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 ...

Journal of the American Heart Association, 2019 Background Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is the most common congenital cardiac abnormality. A thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is present in ≈50% of BAV patients, who also have an 8‐fold higher risk of aortic dissection than the general population.

Carotid and Aortic Stiffness [PDF]
Hypertension, 2006 Several studies have shown that aortic stiffness was an independent predictor for cardiovascular events. However, data are less consistent concerning carotid stiffness. We analyzed the determinants of the discrepancies between aortic and carotid stiffness in different populations with contrasting cardiovascular risk factors: 94 healthy ...
