Arterial stiffness and hypertension

Clinical Hypertension, 2023
Arterial stiffness and hypertension are closely related in pathophysiology. Chronic high blood pressure (BP) can lead to arterial wall damage by mechanical stress, endothelial dysfunction, increased inflammation, oxidative stress, and renin–angiotensin ...

Ethnicity and Arterial Stiffness [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2020
Early vascular aging reflects increased arterial stiffness of central blood vessels at young chronological ages and powerfully predicts cardiovascular events and mortality, independent of routine brachial blood pressure and other risk factors. Since ethnic disparities exist in routine blood pressure, in hypertension and cardiovascular outcomes, this ...

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity [PDF]

Medicina, 2021
Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent

Arterial Stiffness Increases With Deteriorating Glucose Tolerance Status [PDF]

, 2003
Background - Type 2 diabetes (DM-2) and impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) are associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk. In nondiabetic individuals, increased arterial stiffness is an important cause of cardiovascular disease. Associations

Increased plasma ceramide levels are associated with arterial stiffness and vascular ageing: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

Lipids in Health and Disease
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

Arterial stiffness and vascular aging: mechanisms, prevention, and therapy [PDF]

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The central underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases are vascular aging and associated arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness is characterized by structural (e.g.,

Physical Activity, Sport Practice and Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Workers From a Public Hospital: A Trajectory Analysis

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
Background: Studies have demonstrated the positive effects of physical activity on cardiovascular risk factors. Longitudinal studies using modeled trajectories are necessary to understand patterns of physical activity and association with cardiovascular ...

Association Between Plasma Fibulin-1 and Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity in Arterial Stiffness

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
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.

Metabolomics of Arterial Stiffness

Metabolites, 2022
Arterial stiffness (AS) is one of the earliest detectable signs of structural and functional alterations of the vessel wall and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and death. The emerging field of metabolomics can be utilized to detect a wide spectrum of intermediates and products of metabolism in body fluids that can be involved in the ...
