Frontiers in Vascular Stiffness [PDF]

, 2023
The evaluation of vascular stiffness is becoming increasingly important in cardiovascular research to determine the properties of the arterial tree and clinically assesspatients. Current research addresses and debates some unresolved technical and methodological issues with measuring arterial stiffness, with the purpose of making it more reliable and ...

Targeting Vascular Stiffness. [PDF]

Arterioscler Thromb Vasc Biol
Artery stiffening, a biomechanical vascular property closely related to but separate from hypertension, is a strong and independent cardiovascular disease risk factor that also predicts end-organ failure. Decreased aortic compliance elevates the mechanical load on the myocardium, increases peripheral pulse pressure which damages high-flow organs ...

Substrate stiffness directs diverging vascular fates [PDF]

Acta Biomaterialia, 2019
Embryonic stem cells (ESC) are excellent cell culture systems for elucidating developmental signals that may be part of the stem cell niche. Although stem cells are traditionally induced using predominately soluble signals, the mechanical environment of the niche can also play a role in directing cells towards differential cell lineages.

Arterial stiffness in aortic stenosis - complex clinical and prognostic implications

Biomedical Papers, 2022
Arterial stiffness and degenerative aortic stenosis (AoS) are frequently associated leading to a combined valvular and vascular load imposed on the left ventricle (LV).

Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2017
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) account annually for almost one third of all deaths worldwide. Among the CVD, systemic arterial hypertension (SAH) is related to more than half of those outcomes.

Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness.

Arquivos brasileiros de cardiologia, 2022
Biological aging occurs as a result of the interaction between genetics, chronological age and external factors. It is the basis for new concepts of vascular aging, whose progression is determined by the difference between biological and chronological age.

The effect of uric acid-lowering therapy on vascular stiffness in patients with gout [PDF]

Journal of Medicine and Life Science
Several studies have reported that vascular stiffness and risk of cardiovascular disease increase in patients with gout. Although it has been reported that uric acid-lowering treatment improves vascular stiffness in several patient groups, it remains ...

Vascular stiffness and aging in HIV

Sexual Health, 2011
Large artery stiffening is a biological index of vascular aging. Vascular aging and atherosclerosis are two closely linked processes that develop in parallel and in synergy, sharing common aetiological determinants. Vascular stiffening increases left ventricular work and can lead to diminished coronary perfusion, and may therefore contribute to the ...

Arterial stiffness and vascular aging: mechanisms, prevention, and therapy

Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The central underlying mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases are vascular aging and associated arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness is characterized by structural (e.g.,

Vascular stiffness and diastolic heart failure

Терапевтический архив, 2013
Vascular stiffness is regarded as a result of degenerative processes potentiated by aging, hypertension, and other risk factors. Central hemodynamic changes are one of the serious sequels of high arterial stiffness, which gives rise to a chain of events ...
