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.

Higher usual dietary intake of phytoestrogens is associated with lower aortic stiffness in postmenopausal women [PDF]
, 2002 Objective¿ Phytoestrogens have been postulated to protect against cardiovascular diseases, but few studies have focused on the effect of Western dietary phytoestrogen intake.

Acute changes in arterial stiffness following exercise in healthy Caucasians and South Asians
Artery Research, 2015 Background: Arterial stiffness and exercise capacity are independent predictors of cardiovascular diseases. This study aims to establish the acute changes in arterial stiffness using applanation tonometry following sub-maximal exercise in Caucasians and ...

Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension [PDF]
Hypertension, 2014 Over the past decade, increased aortic stiffness has emerged as an important risk factor for target organ damage and cardiovascular disease events. Aortic stiffness can be assessed as pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is a measure of aortic wall stiffness, and pulse pressure (PP), which is affected by wall stiffness and the interaction between flow and ...

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 ...

Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity
Medicina, 2021 Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent

Circulation Journal, 2010 Arterial walls stiffen with age. The most consistent and well-reported changes are luminal enlargement with wall thickening and a reduction of elastic properties at the level of large elastic arteries. Longstanding arterial pulsation in the central artery causes elastin fiber fatigue and fracture.

Arterial Stiffness in Hypertension and Function of Large Arteries [PDF]
American Journal of Hypertension, 2020 Abstract BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness—typically assessed from non-invasive measurement of pulse wave velocity along a straight portion of the vascular tree between the right common carotid and femoral arteries—is a reliable predictor of cardiovascular risk in patients with essential hypertension.
