Arterial stiffness and hypertension
Clinical Hypertension, 2023 AbstractArterial 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–aldosterone system (RAAS) activation.

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 ...

Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension in the Elderly [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2020 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. A major reason for measuring arterial stiffness in clinical practice in elderly hypertensive patients comes from

Arterial stiffness and atrial fibrillation: A review [PDF]
Clinics, 2022 Arterial stiffness has been investigated as part of the physiopathology of arterial hypertension since the 1970s. Its role in increasing the “pulsatile load” imposed over the Left Ventricle (LV) has been intensely studied recently and has helped in ...

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 predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.

Hypertension and arterial stiffness in heart transplantation patients [PDF]
Clinics, 2016 OBJECTIVES: Post-transplantation hypertension is prevalent and is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and subsequent graft dysfunction. The present study aimed to identify the factors associated with arterial stiffness as measured by the ...

Arterial stiffness, hypertension, and rational use of nebivolol [PDF]
Vascular Health and Risk Management, 2009 Arterial stiffness plays a key role in the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system. Some indices of arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity, augmentation index, characteristics of central blood pressure waveform) may be presently calculated and ...

Arterial Stiffness in Chronic Kidney Disease: The Usefulness of a Marker of Vascular Damage [PDF]
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 ...

Arterial Stiffness and Dialysis Calcium Concentration [PDF]
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 ...
