P108 IMPACT OF KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION ON AORTIC STIFFNESS INDEX β0

Artery Research, 2017
Purpose/ Background/ Objectives: We have shown that aortic stiffness improves as early as 3 months post-kidney transplantation (KTx). Aortic stiffness index β0, a blood pressure independent parameter, has been proposed to be a better indicator of ...

CD11b+CD43hiLy6Clo splenocyte‐derived macrophages exacerbate liver fibrosis via spleen–liver axis

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
A population of splenic monocytes migrate into the liver and shift to macrophages, which account for the exacerbation of liver fibrosis. Abstract Background and Aims Monocyte‐derived macrophages (MoMFs), a dominant population of hepatic macrophages under inflammation, play a crucial role in liver fibrosis progression.

Serum Leptin Level is Positively Correlated with Aortic Stiffness in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark, 2023
Background: The global number of people living with diabetes mellitus (DM) continues to grow. Obesity, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension are independently correlated with the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in diabetic patients ...

P152 THE EFFECT OF SURGICAL AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT ON AORTIC STIFFNESS AND THE PROGNOSTIC ROLE OF AORTIC STIFFNESS ON SURGICAL SUCCESS

Artery Research, 2018
Purpose/Background/Objectives: Aortic stiffness and hemodynamics are established biomarkers for cardiovascular events. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) remains the first choice of treatment in most patients with aortic stenosis.

The influence of aortic stiffness on carotid stiffness: computational simulations using a human aorta carotid model

Royal Society Open Science
Increased aortic and carotid stiffness are independent predictors of adverse cardiovascular events. Arterial stiffness is not uniform across the arterial tree and its accurate assessment is challenging.

Implications of preoperative arterial stiffness for patients treated with endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms

JVS - Vascular Science
Arterial stiffening is associated with adverse cardiovascular patient outcomes; stiffness may also be associated with postsurgical events and has been suggested to be a fundamental mechanism in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysms.

Serum resistin as an independent marker of aortic stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundSubjects with higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) will be at an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events in future. Resistin is an inflammatory mediator and a biomarker of CV diseases.

P3.18 COMPARISON OF STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CAROTID AND AORTIC CHANGES IN DIABETES MELLITUS AND HYPERTENSION

Artery Research, 2015
Background: It is known that age, blood pressure and diabetes mellitus are determinants of arterial stiffness. There are no studies comparing impact of hypertension and diabetes on structural and functional carotid and aortic changes.

HIV is an independent predictor of aortic stiffness [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2014
Patients with treated Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1 (HIV) infection are at increased risk of cardiovascular events. Traditionally much of this risk has been attributed to metabolic and anthropometric abnormalities associated with HIV, which are similar to the metabolic syndrome (MS), an established risk factor for cardiovascular mortality.
