The function of large arteries consists of dampening the pulsatile blood flow and pressure generated by the ventricular contraction to achieve a relatively steady flow in the peripheral circulation. Large arteries perform this function thanks to their elastic properties, which allow them to transfer part of the energy generated by the ventricles from ...

AMBULATORY ARTERIAL STIFFNESS INDEX AS A MARKER OF ARTERIAL STIFFNESS

2010
Objective: Increased arterial stiffness (AS) has been shown to predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with essential hypertension (EH). Ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) was proposed as a surrogate measurement method for determination of AS. Although, some authors showed prognostic value of AASI, this is still a controversial issue.

Animal Models of Arterial Stiffness

2006
Animal models of large artery wall stiffness fall into two categories: firstly those that slowly develop multifactorial vascular dysfunction spontaneously, such as the ageing rat. The second type of model consists of those in which a specific pathology is induced by surgical, chemical, or genetic means.
