Fibulin-4 is essential for maintaining arterial wall integrity in conduit but not muscular arteries [PDF]
, 2017 Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in fibulin-4 (FBLN4) lead to autosomal recessive cutis laxa type 1B (ARCL1B), a multisystem disorder characterized by significant cardiovascular abnormalities, including abnormal elastin assembly, arterial ...

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.

Drug treatment of hypertension: focus on vascular health [PDF]
, 2016 Hypertension, the most common preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death, is a growing health burden. Serious cardiovascular complications result from target organ damage including cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic heart

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]
, 2017 Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and
