Is Vascular Stiffness a Target for Therapy?
Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2010Early cardiovascular disease starts in the endothelium leading to functional changes in the vasculature. These changes can be depicted by assessment of arterial stiffness or elasticity. There are several techniques to assess arterial stiffness. Increased arterial stiffness or decreased arterial elasticity has been associated with cardiovascular risk ...

[The detection and evaluation of vascular stiffness].
Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2023Cardiovascular homeostasis is regulated by both physical and chemical factors. Vascular stiffness, a physical property of vessel, is crucial in maintaining the physiological function of vasculature. Vascular stiffness has been indicated to be correlated with hypertension, heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases.

The Role of Scleraxis in Inducing Vascular Stiffness
The FASEB Journal, 2022Vascular fibrosis (VF) is one of the most significant pathologies related to blood vessel dysfunction. VF results in an impairment of vascular tone due to an increase in extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) and vascular smooth muscle synthesis within the vessel wall, thus increasing vascular stiffness and reducing lumen diameter.

Design of a Portable Apparatus for Assessing Vascular Stiffness
2009 2nd International Conference on Biomedical Engineering and Informatics, 2009A non-invasive and portable apparatus is designed for the early detection of vascular stiffness in community use. The device is based on embedded system. It collects electro- cardiograph (ECG) and plethysmograph (PPG) signals from human body, calculates characteristic parameters that reflect the state of the blood vessel and displays them on LCD real ...

Vascular stiffness in chronic kidney disease
2015Abstract Increased arterial stiffness is a hallmark of chronic kidney disease and is associated with adverse alterations in cardiac structure and function that predispose to an increased risk of cardiovascular death. These changes are already apparent in early kidney disease, which is common in the ageing population in the developed ...
