Aortic and systemic arterial stiffness responses to acute exercise in patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysms

, 2019
Objective/background: Elevated arterial stiffness is a characteristic of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and is associated with AAA growth and cardiovascular mortality.

Menopause and accelerated aortic stiffness

Maturitas
The menopausal transition is widely believed to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, based on the notion that estrogen is cardioprotective in women. While aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease, it has been unclear whether this risk increases during menopause.This study aimed to determine the association between ...

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.
