Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension [PDF]

, 2012
Objectives: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A plasma glucose value $155 mg/dl for the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify ...

Aortic stiffness in degenerative aortic stenosis

"Arterial’naya Gipertenziya" ("Arterial Hypertension"), 2021
Aortic stenosis (AS) is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of AS and vascular stiffness are significantly associated with age. Elevated arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. The pathogenetic and clinical relationship of degenerative AS and aortic stiffness is poorly known.

Age and Serum Adipocyte Fatty-Acid-Binding Protein Level Are Associated with Aortic Stiffness in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Patients

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
Old age has been proven to be related to progressed arterial or aortic stiffness. Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortalities in patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG ...

Aortic Stiffness

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011
The aorta stiffens with aging, a process that is accelerated by arterial hypertension. Decreased arterial compliance is one of the earliest detectable manifestations of adverse structural and functional changes within the vessel wall. The use of different imaging techniques optimized for assessment of vascular elasticity and quantification of luminal ...

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 ...

Four-dimensional XStrain echocardiography: Correlation of aortic stiffness with left ventricular diastolic, systolic, and strain parameters in healthy adults – A single-center Indian perspective

Journal of Indian College of Cardiology, 2023
Background: Interrelationship of arterial stiffness with diastolic impairments of left ventricle (LV) in healthy population has been reported in several studies; however, to the best of our knowledge, no study till date has evaluated the relationship of ...

Aortic stiffness in aortic valve stenosis: reply [PDF]

European Journal of Echocardiography, 2011
We appreciate the interest of Nemes and Forster in our article1 and we would like to warmly thank them. The main purpose of our study was to assess the relationship between aortic stiffness, left ventricular (LV) function, and BNP release in a series of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and preserved LV ejection fraction. A normal control group

Circulating adhesion molecules and arterial stiffness [PDF]

, 2015
Aim: VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 are two important members of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily of adhesion molecules, and their potential role as biomarkers of diagnosis, severity and prognosis of cardiovascular disease has been investigated in a number of ...

Aortic stiffness and aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch as markers of renal dysfunction in hypertension

Blood Pressure, 2022
The dismal combination of hypertension and chronic kidney disease potentiates both cardiovascular disease and loss of renal function. Research points to the importance of arterial and left ventricular stiffening in this process but few studies have compared aspects of central and peripheral hemodynamics in relation to renal function in hypertension.We ...

Cross‐Sectional Relationships of Proximal Aortic Stiffness and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Adults in the Community

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Stiffness of the proximal aorta may play a critical role in adverse left ventricular (LV)–vascular interactions and associated LV diastolic dysfunction.
