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 ...

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 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.

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
