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

Journal of Hypertension, 2019
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 outcome of the reduction of blood pressure (BP) post-KTx.

Aortic Stiffness and Distensibility Among Hypertensives

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009
Hypertension is one among many factors that contribute to aortic stiffness, which has repercussions mainly on the heart. To assess aortic stiffness among essential hypertensives of South India and its relationship with gender. An analytical study was designed to assess aortic stiffness among 60 nonobese, nonalcoholic, nonsmoking, and non–caffeine ...

Aortic stiffness, kidney disease, and renal transplantation

Current Hypertension Reports, 2009
In subjects with chronic kidney disease (CKD), treatment of high systolic blood pressure is a key element in preventing disease progression and the occurrence of cardiovascular (CV) events. This relationship between the large arterial system and kidney function was demonstrated in different renal populations.

Assessment of Aortic Stiffness by Transesophageal Echocardiography

Echocardiography, 2014
BackgroundAortic stiffness, often measured by the carotid/femoral pulse‐wave velocity (PWV) method, has become an attractive predictor for cardiovascular (CV) risk. Although noninvasive, PWV requires additional equipment and training. Aortic diameters measured at transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provide high spatial resolution images as an ...

Coagulation anomalies, endothelial dysfunction, and aortic stiffness

Kidney International, 2021
In chronic kidney disease, the arterial wall undergoes complex remodeling, which leads to aortic stiffness. This causes increased cardiac workload and enhanced pulse pressure transmission into microcirculation, leading to microvascular damage and organ dysfunction. Beyond regulation of vascular tone, endothelium plays a key role in coagulation.

Aortic stiffness as a cardiovascular risk predictor

BMJ, 2015
A promising biomarker likely to be most useful in younger adults with low to moderate risk Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, despite highly effective preventive treatments. Most current guidelines recommend treatment based on arbitrary thresholds or the risk of a future event. Although the guidelines are effective at

Aortic stiffness, blood pressure and renal dysfunction

Internal and Emergency Medicine, 2011
In order to favor an optimal tissue oxygenation, a fundamental function of large arteries is the ability to modify a ‘‘pulsatile’’, i.e. systolic/diastolic, into a stable, continuous pressure [1]. The balance between contraction and relaxation is mainly responsible for rapid adaptation of lumen diameter.

Aortic stiffness in patients with wilson's disease

Nigerian Journal of Clinical Practice, 2019
Wilson's disease (WD) presents with different phenotypes. Neurologic and liver involvement in WD are well documented. Few reports demonstrated cardiac and vascular involvement. Several studies showed an association between serum copper levels and atherosclerosis.

Music decreases aortic stiffness and wave reflections

Atherosclerosis, 2015
Music has been related to cardiovascular health and used as adjunct therapy in patients with cardiovascular disease. Aortic stiffness and wave reflections are predictors of cardiovascular risk. We investigated the short-term effect of classical and rock music on arterial stiffness and wave reflections.Twenty healthy individuals (22.5±2.5 years) were ...
