Non-invasive Evaluation of Aortic Stiffness Dependence with Aortic Blood Pressure and Internal Radius by Shear Wave Elastography and Ultrafast Imaging [PDF]

open access: yesIRBM, Elsevier Masson, 2018, 39 (1), pp.9-17, 2019
Elastic properties of arteries have long been recognized as playing a major role in the cardiovascular system. However, non-invasive in vivo assessment of local arterial stiffness remains challenging and imprecise as current techniques rely on indirect estimates such as wall deformation or pulse wave velocity.

Glycated hemoglobin and risk of arterial stiffness in a Chinese Han population: A longitudinal study [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Background and Aims: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) associates with the risk of arterial stiffness, and such association can be found between fasting blood glucose (FBG), postprandial blood glucose (PBG), triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index), and ...

Assessment of model based (input) impedance, pulse wave velocity, and wave reflection in the Asklepios Cohort [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015

Moderate and heavy metabolic stress interval training improve arterial stiffness and heart rate dynamics in humans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Traditional continuous aerobic exercise training attenuates age-related increases of arterial stiffness, however, training studies have not determined whether metabolic stress impacts these favourable effects.

Circulating adhesion molecules and arterial stiffness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Aim: VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 are two important members of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily of adhesion molecules, and their potential role as biomarkers of diagnosis, severity and prognosis of cardiovascular disease has been investigated in a number of ...

Inverse modelling of an aneurysm's stiffness using surrogate-based optimization and fluid-structure interaction simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Characterization of the mechanical properties of arterial tissues is highly relevant. In this work, we apply an inverse modelling approach to a model accounting for an aneurysm and the distal part of the circulation which can be modified using two ...

Vascular fibrosis in aging and hypertension: molecular mechanisms and clinical implications [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Aging is the primary risk factor underlying hypertension and incident cardiovascular disease. With aging, the vasculature undergoes structural and functional changes characterized by endothelial dysfunction, wall thickening, reduced distensibility, and ...

In vitro histomechanical effects of enzymatic degradation in carotid arteries during inflation tests with pulsatile loading [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2020, 103, pp.103550, 2019
In this paper, the objective is to assess the histomechanical effects of collagen proteolysis in arteries under loading conditions reproducing in vivo environment. Thirteen segments of common porcine carotid arteries (8 proximal and 5 distal) were immersed in a bath of bacterial collagenase and tested with a pulsatile tension/inflation machine ...
