Therapeutic Modulation of Aortic Stiffness

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2016
Aortic stiffness (AS) is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity in humans. The present review discusses the possible pathophysiological mechanisms of AS and focuses on a survey of different therapeutic modalities for decreasing AS. The influence of several nonpharmacological interventions is described: decrease body weight, diet, aerobic ...

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 ...

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 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 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.

Stiffness of the aortic wall in hypercholesterolemic children

Metabolism, 1999
Arterial stiffness may be an indicator of early vascular changes signaling the development of vascular disease, while hypercholesterolemia is a well-recognized promoter of atherogenesis. It has been shown that hypercholesterolemic children have a thicker intima-media in the carotid artery than children with normal cholesterol. The aim of this study was

Effect of abdominal aortic grafts on aortic stiffness and central hemodynamics

Journal of Hypertension, 2009
Graft-prosthesis and stentgraft placements are effective modalities for treating abdominal aortic aneurysm, but related changes in arterial stiffness are not well established. The present study sought to assess aortic stiffness after aneurism repair by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV).

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.

Aortic Stiffness and Distensibility in Top-Level Athletes

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2012
Although cardiac adaptation to different sports has been extensively described, the potential relationship of training with aortic root (AR) elastic properties and diameters in top-level athletes remains not fully investigated. The aims of this study were to compare AR morphology and stiffness between highly trained athletes and sedentary subjects and ...
