Vascular Stiffness in Insulin Resistance and Obesity [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Obesity, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes are associated with a substantially increased prevalence of vascular fibrosis and stiffness, with attendant increased risk of cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease.

Vascular aging, the vascular cytoskeleton and aortic stiffness [PDF]
Exploration of Medicine, 2021 Vascular aging, aortic stiffness and hypertension are mechanistically interrelated. The perspective presented here will focus mainly on the molecular mechanisms of age-associated increases in the stiffness of the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC).

Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Aging: Effects of Hypertension
Архивъ внутренней медицины, 2021 This review highlights the relationship of age and arterial hypertension observed in the aging process. The main structural and functional changes underlying the increase in vascular stiffness are analyzed. The similarity of vascular changes in aging and

Inter- and intradialytic fluid volume changes and vascular stiffness parameters in patients on hemodialysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2022 BackgroundWhether fluid overload is associated with vascular stiffness parameters in hemodialysis (HD) patients has not been fully elucidated. We hypothesized that interdialytic fluid accumulation increases vascular stiffness parameters, which improves ...

Characterization of di‐gital, tri‐gital, and tetra‐gital temporal movement of systolic blood pressure on the arterial pulse waveform of rats at different vascular stiffness [PDF]
Animal Models and Experimental MedicineBackground An arterial stiffness is an indicator of many cardiovascular diseases. The temporal position of systolic blood pressure (BP) on aorta pulse waveform is assumed to gradually shift on the waveform in response to increasing/decreasing vascular ...
