Arterial stiffness

Journal of Hypertension, 1999
Arterial stiffness is an important determinant of pulse pressure, and of left ventricular load and coronary perfusion pressure.Precise quantification is elusive, since stiffness is different in different arteries and even in the same artery at different pressures.

Arterial Stiffness in COPD

Chest, 2014
In patients with COPD, cardiovascular diseases are the most common concomitant chronic diseases, a leading cause of hospitalization, and one of the main causes of death. A close connection exists between COPD and cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular risk scores aim to predict the effect of cardiovascular comorbidities on COPD mortality, but there is

Depression, Anxiety, and Arterial Stiffness

Biological Psychiatry, 2011
Arterial 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.

Swollen arteries and stiffness

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

Ambulatory arterial stiffness index does not accurately assess arterial stiffness

Journal of Hypertension, 2012
The 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.

ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND CARDIOVASCULAR OUTCOME

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 2007
SUMMARY Studies have reported an association between arterial function indices and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the risk of incident cardiovascular events, including coronary heart disease and stroke. The data are overwhelmingly in favour of an independent role for aortic pulse wave velocity in predicting fatal and non‐fatal cardiovascular ...

Arterial Stiffness and Peripheral Arterial Disease

2006
Of 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.

Arterial Stiffness and Insulin Resistance

Seminars in Vascular Medicine, 2002
Insulin resistance is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The mechanism(s) underlying this association are poorly understood. Increased arterial stiffness is the main cause of the most prevalent form of hypertension, systolic hypertension. Hypertension is also commonly observed in individuals with insulin resistance.
