Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

Higher usual dietary intake of phytoestrogens is associated with lower aortic stiffness in postmenopausal women [PDF]

, 2002
Objective¿ Phytoestrogens have been postulated to protect against cardiovascular diseases, but few studies have focused on the effect of Western dietary phytoestrogen intake.

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

Effect of a reduction in glomerular filtration rate after nephrectomy on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics: rationale and design of the EARNEST study [PDF]

, 2014
Background: There is strong evidence of an association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. To date, however, proof that a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a causative factor in cardiovascular disease is ...

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

Pulse wave analysis in normal pregnancy: a prospective longitudinal study. [PDF]

, 2009
Outside pregnancy, arterial pulse wave analysis provides valuable information in hypertension and vascular disease. Studies in pregnancy using this technique show that vascular stiffness is raised in women with established pre-eclampsia.
