Serum resistin as an independent marker of aortic stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease.

PLoS ONE, 2017
BackgroundSubjects with higher carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) will be at an increased risk for cardiovascular (CV) events in future. Resistin is an inflammatory mediator and a biomarker of CV diseases.

Higher usual dietary intake of phytoestrogens is associated with lower aortic stiffness in postmenopausal women

, 2002
Objective¿ Phytoestrogens have been postulated to protect against cardiovascular diseases, but few studies have focused on the effect of Western dietary phytoestrogen intake.

P3.18 COMPARISON OF STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL CAROTID AND AORTIC CHANGES IN DIABETES MELLITUS AND HYPERTENSION

Artery Research, 2015
Background: It is known that age, blood pressure and diabetes mellitus are determinants of arterial stiffness. There are no studies comparing impact of hypertension and diabetes on structural and functional carotid and aortic changes.

Cholesterol Efflux: Does It Contribute to Aortic Stiffening?

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2018
Aortic stiffness during cardiac contraction is defined by the rigidity of the aorta and the elastic resistance to deformation. Recent studies suggest that aortic stiffness may be associated with changes in cholesterol efflux in endothelial cells.

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.

Plasma Metabolome Predicts Aortic Stiffness and Future Risk of Coronary Artery Disease and Mortality After 23 Years of Follow‐Up in the General Population

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Increased aortic stiffness (arteriosclerosis) is associated with early vascular aging independent of age and sex. The underlying mechanisms of early vascular aging remain largely unexplored in the general population.

Aortic stiffness: an age-related prognostic marker?

Journal of Hypertension
Aortic stiffness, a consequence of vascular aging, is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, the impact of age and sex on its predictive performance remains unclear. We have included 6046 individuals from the population-based Rotterdam study. Survival analyses were performed to investigate
