Arterial stiffness and coronary artery disease
Current Opinion in Cardiology, 2015The current traditional risk scores are not sufficient to predict the full incidence of cardiovascular disease. In this brief review, we discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms through which arterial stiffness affects cardiac function and the additive value of markers of arterial stiffness, to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and ...

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.

Is Arterial Stiffness a Determinant of Hypotension?
High Blood Pressure & Cardiovascular Prevention, 2020Previous observation identified both hypotension and arterial aging, indexed as Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV), as significant determinants of cognitive decline in older subjects.To investigate the role of PWV as a determinant of hypotension in older patients.A cohort of 344 subjects came to our Outpatient Clinic, free of cancer, acute myocardial infarction

From Endothelial Dysfunction to Arterial Stiffness in Diabetes Mellitus.
Current Diabetes Reviews, 2020Prevalence of diabetes mellitus has increased drastically over time, especially in more populous countries such as the United States, India, and China. Patients with diabetes have an increased risk of major cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial ...

Diabetes and Arterial Stiffness
2001Many clinicians continue to view diabetes mellitus as essentially an endocrine disease associated with hyperglycemia. Although the risk of developing specific complications of diabetes such as retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy is clearly associated with the degree (and duration) of hyperglycemia, the relationship between diabetes and ...

Arterial Stiffness and Aging [PDF]
, 2020 Aging is often associated with cognitive impairment. As the population’s life expectancy is increasing, the number of cognitive impairment cases is growing. This growing number of individuals with cognitive impairment and dementia is becoming one of the most important medical and social problems worldwide.

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.

Mechanisms of Arterial Stiffness
2015Current understanding for the mechanisms contributing to arterial stiffness is limited. The field is rapidly growing, however, and the complex process of functional, structural and signaling pathways working together to stiffen arteries is becoming increasingly clear.

Implications of Arterial Stiffness
2015The implications for increased arterial stiffness are just now beginning to be understood. However, there is still much unknown in this emerging field of study. In this chapter we overview several areas of clinical importance that influence arterial stiffness, which include aging, sex, race, body composition, and cardiorespiratory fitness, and the ...
