Interrelations Between Arterial Stiffness, Target Organ Damage, and Cardiovascular Disease Outcomes

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Excess transmission of pressure pulsatility caused by increased arterial stiffness may incur microcirculatory damage in end organs (target organ damage [TOD]) and, in turn, elevate risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events.

Association of Arterial Stiffness with Chronic Kidney Disease: A Systematic Review

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research
Introduction: Significant kidney function may be lost before CKD is diagnosed. Arterial stiffness may be a risk factor for CKD and the relationship may be bi-directional.

Arterial Stiffness and Dialysis Calcium Concentration

International Journal of Nephrology, 2011
Arterial stiffness is the major determinant of isolated systolic hypertension and increased pulse pressure. Aortic stiffness is also associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease, hypertension ...

Gender Difference in the Relationship of Albuminuria and Arterial Stiffness in Chinese Adults - a 6.6-Year Follow-Up Longitudinal Study

Kidney & Blood Pressure Research, 2018
Background/Aims: Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) reflects the stiffness of muscular arteries. Albuminuria is recognized as a marker of vascular dysfunction. We assessed the association between arterial stiffness and albuminuria in a population-

Gut microbial diversity is associated with lower arterial stiffness in women

European Heart Journal, 2018
Aims The gut microbiome influences metabolic syndrome (MetS) and inflammation and is therapeutically modifiable. Arterial stiffness is poorly correlated with most traditional risk factors.

How does empagliflozin improve arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus? Sub analysis of a clinical trial

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2019
BackgroundEmpagliflozin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, but the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are poorly understood. It was previously demonstrated that empagliflozin improved arterial stiffness.MethodsOur analysis comprising 58 ...

Arterial Stiffness in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Usefulness of a Marker of Vascular Damage

International Journal of Nephrology, 2011
Increased arterial stiffness is a marker of vasculopathy in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, suggesting a significant cardiovascular damage. Detection of arterial stiffness provides physicians with useful prognostic information independent of ...
