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 ...

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.

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

Cross‐Sectional Relationships of Proximal Aortic Stiffness and Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Adults in the Community

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Stiffness of the proximal aorta may play a critical role in adverse left ventricular (LV)–vascular interactions and associated LV diastolic dysfunction.

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.

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Hemodynamic Measures as Determinants of Increased Arterial Stiffness Following Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement

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 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.

11.6 THE AORTIC-TO-BRACHIAL STIFFNESS GRADIENT AND AORTIC RESERVOIR-EXCESS PRESSURE IN A DIALYSIS POPULATION

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 ...

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.
