The relative contributions of aortic and carotid artery stiffness to CeVD and cognition

Cerebral Circulation - Cognition and Behavior
Introduction: The relative contributions of aortic and carotid artery stiffness on cognitive impairment and dementia remain unknown. We examined the associations of aortic and carotid artery stiffness with cerebrovascular disease markers, cognition, and ...

Automated Extraction of Pulsatile Stiffness and Wall Asymmetry from Aortic M-Mode Ultrasound Images

Bioengineering
Conventional ultrasound-based assessment of aortic stiffness relies on two-point distension metrics using maximum and minimum vessel diameters within a cardiac cycle, which may not fully reflect time-resolved aortic wall dynamics.

Serum Malondialdehyde-Modified Low-Density Lipoprotein Level May Be a Biomarker Associated with Aortic Stiffness Among Patients Undergoing Peritoneal Dialysis

Life
Background: Serum malondialdehyde-oxidized low-density lipoprotein (MDA-oxLDL) is associated with atherosclerosis and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

CARDIOVASCULAR AGING: INSIGHTS FROM MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING

Artery Research, 2013
Aortic stiffness is now established as an independent marker of cardiovascular aging and cardiovascular risk. However, the specific role of the proximal aorta, specifically the ascending aorta, remains understudied.

Aortic stiffness in normal and hypertensive pregnancy

Blood Pressure, 2009
The objective of this study was to examine whether aortic stiffness, as assessed by pulse wave analysis, could reliably discriminate between normal and hypertensive pregnancies. One hundred pregnant women were studied: five with severe pre-eclampsia, 27 with gestational hypertension, 14 with chronic hypertension and 54 with normal pregnancy.

Rho Kinase Regulates Aortic Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell Stiffness Via Actin/SRF/Myocardin in Hypertension

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2017
Background/Aims: Our previous studies demonstrated that intrinsic aortic smooth muscle cell (VSMC) stiffening plays a pivotal role in aortic stiffening in aging and hypertension. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown.

P6.07 A STUDY TO DETERMINE IF THE REFLECTED WAVE TRANSIT TIME FROM BRACHIAL SUPRASYSTOLIC WAVEFORM ANALYSIS IS REPRESENTATIVE OF LARGE ARTERY STIFFNESS

Artery Research, 2013
Background: Aortic stiffness is clinically important, but measurement can be time consuming. The ‘reflected wave transit time’ (RWTT) is thought to represent aortic stiffness and, since this can be measured quickly by brachial cuff oscillometry, could be
