Arterial stiffness and hypertension
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]
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.

Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension in the Elderly [PDF]
Hypertension prevalence increases with age. Age and high blood pressure are the two main determinants of arterial stiffness. In elderly hypertensives, large arteries stiffen and systolic and pulse pressures increase, due to wave reflections.

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity [PDF]
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 and hypertension [PDF]
Measures of the functional and structural properties of blood vessels can be used to assess preclinical stage of vascular disorders. Recent experimental and population studies show that arterial stiffening precedes development of high blood pressure, and

Arterial stiffness increases with deteriorating glucose tolerance status - The Hoorn Study [PDF]
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

Physical Activity and Arterial Stiffness: A Narrative Review [PDF]
Arterial stiffness is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Physical activity (PA) has been extensively studied for its potential to reduce arterial stiffness, but the relationship between different types, durations, and ...
