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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 and myocardial ischemia

Journal of Hypertension, 2015
All too often, myocardial ischemia is considered synonymous with coronary artery disease, as if coronary atherosclerotic phenomena were the only responsible mechanism for myocardial ischemia. On the contrary, a more correct approach to ischemic heart disease would need to consider all the factors potentially responsible for an ischemic myocardial ...

Echocardiographic assessment of aortic stiffness and cardiac function in end-stage renal disease patients undergoing hemodialysis [PDF]

Journal of Nephropathology
Introduction: End-stage renal disease (ESRD) is strongly associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, with aortic stiffness emerging as a key predictor of adverse outcomes. Echocardiographic assessment of aortic stiffness and cardiac

The Relationship between Arterial Elasticity Parameters of Ascending Aorta, Abdominal Aorta and Carotid Arteries with Carotid Intima Media Thickness in Children with Bicuspid Aortic Valve

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Background: Bicuspid aortic valve is a congenital cardiac malformation that affects not only the valve and ascending aorta but also the abdominal aorta and large central arteries like carotid arteries by damaging the elasticity of the vessel resulting in
