Increased plasma ceramide levels are associated with arterial stiffness and vascular ageing: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Background Cardiovascular (CV) events pose a substantial threat to human health. Plasma ceramides have been shown to exhibit predictive value for CV events; however, its correlation with arterial stiffness had yet to be fully elucidated. This study aimed

Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension [PDF]
Objectives: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A plasma glucose value $155 mg/dl for the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify ...

Association Between Plasma Fibulin-1 and Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity in Arterial Stiffness
Arterial stiffness forms the basis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) and is also an independent predictor of CVD risk. Early detection and intervention of arterial stiffness are important for improving the global burden of CVD.

Aortic stiffness and central hemodynamics in treatment-naïve HIV infection: a cross-sectional study
Background Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). HIV infection causes a chronic inflammatory state and increases oxidative stress which can cause endothelial dysfunction and ...

Impact of Cigarette Smoking and Exercise on Arterial Stiffness: A Narrative Literature Review [PDF]
PURPOSE Smoking often causes acute and chronic cardiovascular disorders. Cigarette smoking increases oxidative stress, reduces nitric oxide bioavailability, and changes the extracellular matrix, impairing arterial stiffness.
