Aging and Arterial Stiffness

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.

American Journal of Hypertension, 2020
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 ...

P5.19 STIFF ARTERIES, STIFF HEARTS?

Artery Research, 2013
Objectives: To examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and diastolic function in healthy normotensive subjects. Methods: For this study, 43 male (40±10 years) and 64 female (40±9 years) subjects were recruited. All were lifelong non-smokers, normolipidaemic, normoglycaemic and had normal 24-hour blood pressure responses (SBP\DBP <140\90).

The Value of Serial Measurement of Arterial Stiffness in Cardiovascular Disease

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine
Clinically assessing arterial stiffness is valuable because it aids in predicting future cardiovascular events. There are several methods for measuring arterial stiffness, including pulse wave velocity (PWV), augmentation index, and pulse pressure ...

Effects of aerobic exercise training on the arterial stiffness and intramyocellular or extramyocellular lipid in overweight and obese men

Clinical and Experimental Hypertension, 2020
Intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) and extramyocellular lipid (EMCL) of ectopic fat in muscles are associated with arterial stiffness in normal-weight individuals. Furthermore, aerobic exercise training-induced changes in IMCL or EMCL content are related to a

The effect of foot orthoses on midfoot pain and the volume of bone marrow lesions in the midfoot: a randomized mechanism of action study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective Foot orthoses are thought to improve pain by potentially modifying internal mechanical forces. To test this, we explored whether foot orthoses can modify patterns of bone marrow lesions (BMLs) in people with midfoot pain. Methods Forty‐two people were recruited with midfoot pain and MRI‐confirmed midfoot BMLs.
