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.

Mechanisms of Arterial Stiffness

2015
Current 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

2015
The 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 ...

Arterial Elasticity/Stiffness

2010
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 the Brain

2016
In healthy humans, brain perfusion is adequately regulated, minute-to-minute, to match flow and neuronal metabolic demand, while cerebral blood flow (CBF) is maintained somewhat constant in the face of a variable systemic blood pressure between periods of sleep and of high intensity exercise.

Overview of Arterial Stiffness

2015
Arterial stiffness is a novel risk factor for cardiovascular disease resulting from functional and structural changes within arteries. Greater arterial stiffening places negative consequences on the heart, because greater effort is required for the myocardium to overcome the resultant increase in afterload.

Estimated Arterial Stiffness

Since arterial stiffness assessment is not widely available, several measures have been proposed to facilitate its introduction in everyday clinical practice either through equations or by using artificial intelligence. Indeed, machine learning algorithms may improve accessibility and performance of vascular age assessment.
