Ambulatory arterial stiffness index does not accurately assess arterial stiffness
Journal of Hypertension, 2012The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), derived from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) recordings, has been proposed as a surrogate marker of arterial stiffness. However, there is controversy to what extent it reflects stiffness or is affected by other parameters.

Depression, Anxiety, and Arterial Stiffness
Biological Psychiatry, 2011Arterial stiffness gains attention as a potential mechanism underlying the frequently found association between depression or anxiety and cardiovascular disease. However, observations regarding stiffness and psychopathology were often based on small samples.

The subject of arterial stiffness as a modifiable risk factor is controversial and difficult to understand. The best approach here will be to assist readers to understand the issue and the basis of controversy. We also hope to show that the subject is not as overwhelming as it might appear. We believe that new blood is required in this field and that a

Swollen arteries and stiffness
Nursing Older People, 2011Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant cell arteritis (GCA) are closely related. They may occur independently or in the same.

High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2011
Current European guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension introduce the assessment of arterial stiffness by pulse wave velocity (PWV) as an index of hypertension-related cardiovascular target organ damage. An increase in arterial stiffness is related to haemodynamic modifications at the level of the aorta, leading to a rise in cardiac ...

Pharmacological Modulation of Arterial Stiffness
Drugs, 2011Arterial stiffness has emerged as an important marker of cardiovascular risk in various populations and reflects the cumulative effect of cardiovascular risk factors on large arteries, which in turn is modulated by genetic background. Arterial stiffness is determined by the composition of the arterial wall and the arrangement of these components, and ...

Genetic Determinants of Arterial Stiffness
Journal of Cardiovascular Translational Research, 2014Stiffness of large arteries (called arteriosclerosis) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Although previous studies have shown that arterial stiffness is moderately heritable, genetic factors contributing to arterial stiffness are largely unknown. In this paper, we reviewed the available literature on genetic variants

The major pathophysiologic process initiating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the deficiency of arterial endothelial function. The rate of progression of cardiovascular disease is highly variable. Changes in small arterial elasticity/stiffness are the first signs of cardiovascular disease in asymptomatic subjects as an expression of ...

Arterial Stiffness and Peripheral Arterial Disease
2006Of the atherosclerotic diseases, peripheral arterial disease is the most characterized by its association with systolic hypertension, increased arterial stiffness and disturbed wave reflection. This disease raises the question to which extent sclerosis in 'atherosclerosis' is necessary per se to cause an increase in systolic blood pressure.
