Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension [PDF]
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 ...

Acute changes in arterial stiffness following exercise in healthy Caucasians and South Asians
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 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]
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.

Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity
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

Arterial stiffness evaluation in HIV-positive patients: a multicenter matched control study.
: 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 ...
