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 ...

Magnesium and Arterial Stiffness [PDF]
Hypertension, 2006 To The Editor: We read with interest the paper by S. Laurent et al1 dealing with structural and genetic bases of arterial stiffness. The authors reviewed data concerning the heritability of arterial stiffness and propose an integrated view of the structural and genetic determinants of arterial stiffness based on a candidate gene approach and recent ...

Determinants of arterial stiffness in COPD [PDF]
BMC Pulmonary Medicine, 2014 Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality is high in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and arterial stiffness is a potentially modifiable risk factor with added predictive value beyond that obtained from traditional risk factors.

Uses of Arterial Stiffness in Clinical Practice.
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology, 2020 As far back as the ancient Egyptians and Greeks, physicians have observed and interpreted the arterial pulse to diagnose disease. In the last 20 years, advances in modern engineering have rendered quantitative pulse wave analysis widely available ...

Alterations in vascular function in primary aldosteronism - a cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging study [PDF]
, 2014 Introduction: Excess aldosterone is associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Aldosterone has a permissive effect on vascular fibrosis. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) allows study of vascular function by measuring aortic ...

Arterial Stiffness Preceding Diabetes
Circulation Research, 2020 Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Previous studies on the relationship between diabetes and arterial stiffness were mostly cross-sectional. A few longitudinal studies focused on one single direction.

Retinal micro-vascular and aortic macro-vascular changes in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
, 2018 Aim of the study was to evaluate the micro and macro-vascular changes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) compared to controls. 30 postmenopausal PHPT women (15 hypertensive and 15 normotensive) and 30 normotensive controls underwent ...

Cardiovascular features of possible autonomous cortisol secretion in patients with adrenal incidentalomas [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Low-grade incomplete post-dexamethasone cortisol suppression in patients with adrenal incidentalomas – recently defined as possible autonomous cortisol secretion (pACS) – has been associated with increased cardiovascular events and mortality.
