Increased central artery stiffness in impaired glucose metabolism and type 2 diabetes - The Hoorn study [PDF]
Impaired glucose metabolism (IGM) and type 2 diabetes (DM-2) are associated with high cardiovascular disease risk. Increases in peripheral and central artery stiffness may represent pathophysiologic pathways through which glucose tolerance status leads ...

Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account annually for almost one third of all deaths worldwide. Among the CVD, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is related to more than half of those outcomes. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is an independent risk factor for SAH because it causes functional and structural damage to the arterial wall, leading to stiffness ...

Printing and Rerouting of Elastic and Protease Responsive Shape Memory Hydrogel Filaments
A biofabrication strategy, Rerouting of Free‐Floating Suspended Hydrogel Filaments (REFRESH), is developed enabling the printing of highly elastic, reconfigurable protease‐responsive hydrogel filaments with shape memory properties. The filaments can be manually braided, knotted, and rerouted to create intricate cell‐laden 3D architectures, expanding ...

Dose of Alcohol From Beer Required for Acute Reduction in Arterial Stiffness
Acute beer or alcohol ingestion reduces arterial stiffness, but the dose required to reduce arterial stiffness is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the acute effects of ingesting various amounts of beer on arterial stiffness in healthy ...

Effect of a reduction in glomerular filtration rate after nephrectomy on arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics: rationale and design of the EARNEST study [PDF]
Background: There is strong evidence of an association between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease. To date, however, proof that a reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is a causative factor in cardiovascular disease is ...

Association between triglyceride glucose index and arterial stiffness in Korean adults
BackgroundThe triglyceride glucose (TyG) index has been suggested as a simple surrogate marker of insulin resistance. However, there are limited data regarding the association between the TyG index and arterial stiffness in adults.
