Racial Differences in Aortic Stiffness in Children [PDF]
The Journal of Pediatrics, 2017 To investigate racial differences in central blood pressure and vascular structure/function as subclinical markers of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in children.This cross-sectional study recruited 54 African American children (18 female, 36 male; age 10.5 ± 0.9 years) and 54 white children (27 female, 26 male; age 10.8 ± 0.9 years) from the ...

Aortic Stiffness, Cerebrovascular Dysfunction, and Memory [PDF]
Pulse, 2016 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Aortic stiffness is associated with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and cognitive decline. This mini-review focuses on relations of aortic stiffness with microvascular dysfunction and discusses the contribution of abnormal pulsatile hemodynamics to cerebrovascular damage and cognitive decline.

Aortic stiffness in children of parents with hypertension [PDF]
Journal of Human Hypertension, 2006 Impaired aortic stiffness has been hypothesized to be the common underlying factor leading to development of hypertension. 1,2 We hypothesized that children of parents with hypertension would have greater aortic stiffness compared with children of parents without hypertension.

Artery Research, 2016 Background: Aortic reservoir function is associated with increased cardiovascular events. Patients with chronic kidney disease in need of dialysis have increased aortic stiffness and reversal of the aortic-to-brachial stiffness gradient, which could ...

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Valvular and arterial function are tightly intertwined, both in terms of structural changes and hemodynamics. While proximal valvulo-vascular coupling contributes to the cardiovascular consequences of aortic stenosis, less is known on how peripheral ...

Aortic Stiffness and Disease [PDF]
Circulation, 2015 Increased risk of cardiovascular disease and events associated with aortic stiffening has been attributed both to the hemodynamic consequences of stiffening and to this being a marker for an age-related degeneration of the arterial wall predisposing to arterial disease.1 There are several measures of arterial stiffness.

2.5 AORTIC-BRACHIAL STIFFNESS MISMATCH AND MORTALITY IN DIALYSIS PATIENTS
Artery Research, 2013 Objective. We have shown that regression of brachial stiffness is inversely related to aortic stiffness in dialysis patients. In this study, we sequentially examine the impact of aortic stiffness, brachial stiffness and aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch

Impact of aortic stiffness on myocardial ischaemia in non-obstructive coronary artery disease
Open Heart, 2019 Objective High aortic stiffness may reduce myocardial perfusion pressure and contribute to development of myocardial ischaemia. Whether high aortic stiffness is associated with myocardial ischaemia in patients with stable angina and non-obstructive ...

HIV infection and aortic stiffness
Archives of Cardiovascular Diseases, 2017 People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and receiving antiretroviral therapy now have the same life expectancy as the general population. However, they have a higher risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events because of a complex and polyfactorial vasculopathy, combining the effects of antiretroviral therapy, the HIV virus ...
