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

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

, 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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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.

Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]

, 2015
Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...
