Chronic Nicotine Exposure Induces Murine Aortic Remodeling and Stiffness Segmentation—Implications for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Susceptibility

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Aim: Arterial stiffness is a significant risk factor for many cardiovascular diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Nicotine, the major active ingredient of e-cigarettes and tobacco smoke, induces acute vasomotor effects that may ...

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.

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.

Development of a novel CT-derived measure of cardiovascular health: the CT aortic stiffness index (CTASI) [PDF]

, 2021
Aims: Aortic stiffness, measured as aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV), is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular health but is difficult to accurately obtain non-invasively.

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, 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.

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

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 ...

Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement for inoperable severe aortic stenosis. [PDF]

, 2012
BACKGROUND: Transcatheter aortic-valve replacement (TAVR) is the recommended therapy for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are not suitable candidates for surgery. The outcomes beyond 1 year in such patients are not known.

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 ...
