Carotid stiffness and physical activity in elderly : a short report of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study [PDF]
, 2015 Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in the general population. While smaller studies in specified groups (highly trained versus untrained individuals) indicate a certain dose-dependent effect of physical ...

JRSM Cardiovascular Disease, 2012 Measurements of biomechanical properties of arteries have become an important surrogate outcome used in epidemiological and interventional cardiovascular research. Structural and functional differences of vessels in the arterial tree result in a dampening of pulsatility and smoothing of blood flow as it progresses to capillary level. A loss of arterial

Arterial Stiffness Gradient [PDF]
Pulse, 2015 <b><i>Background:</i></b> Aortic stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality in various clinical conditions. The aim of this review is to focus on the arterial stiffness gradient, to discuss the integrated role of medium-sized muscular conduit arteries in the regulation of pulsatile pressure and organ perfusion ...

Association Between Arterial Stiffness and Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in the world. Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for about half of all heart failure.

ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE: CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES
Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2015 Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. CKD is characterized by accelerated aging of vessels in which the age-related arterial stiffness increase is exacerbated by a number of uremia-related processes.

Pulse wave analysis in normal pregnancy: a prospective longitudinal study. [PDF]
, 2009 Outside pregnancy, arterial pulse wave analysis provides valuable information in hypertension and vascular disease. Studies in pregnancy using this technique show that vascular stiffness is raised in women with established pre-eclampsia.

Arterial stiffness and hypertension [PDF]
Clinical Hypertension, 2018 Measures of the functional and structural properties of blood vessels can be used to assess preclinical stage of vascular disorders. Recent experimental and population studies show that arterial stiffening precedes development of high blood pressure, and can be used to predict future cardiovascular events.

Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]
, 2015 Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...
