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.

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 ...

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

Current Opinion in Nephrology and Hypertension, 2015 To examine the putative measures of arterial stiffness and the mechanisms of adverse effects of stiffness on blood pressure and target organ damage using data from comprehensive hemodynamic profiles obtained in the Framingham Heart Study and the Age, Gene/Environment Susceptibility-Reykjavik Study.Once thought to be a consequence of longstanding ...

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.

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.

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.

Arterial stiffness evaluation in HIV-positive patients: a multicenter matched control study.
, 2011 : OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to assess the differences, if any, in the values of carotid artery stiffness parameters between HIV-infected subjects without known cardiovascular disease (CVD) or carotid artery plaques and HIV-uninfected ...
