Vascular Stiffness [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2008
Arterial stiffness is recognized increasingly as an important component in the determination of cardiovascular risk, particularly in chronic kidney disease and ESRD populations. Although the technique has been around for nearly 100 yr, in the past 20 to 25 yr, pragmatic noninvasive approaches have allowed the incorporation of arterial stiffness ...

Frontiers in Vascular Stiffness

, 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 ...

Aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch as potential marker of subclinical arterial damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

RUDN Journal of Medicine, 2023
Aortic-brachial stiffness mismatch is a potential new marker of a subclinical vascular damage that has never been studied in patients with rheumatic diseases.

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]

, 2013
Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.

Sodium Intake and Vascular Stiffness in Hypertension [PDF]

Hypertension, 2009
The relationship between sodium and blood pressure (BP) continues to be the focus of intense research. In humans, the impact of sodium on systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP), mean BP, and pulse pressure (PP) is currently thought to be quite similar for the 4 pressures and to occur practically with identical consequences (see reviews1–8).

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 ...

Drug treatment of hypertension: focus on vascular health [PDF]

, 2016
Hypertension, the most common preventable risk factor for cardiovascular disease and death, is a growing health burden. Serious cardiovascular complications result from target organ damage including cerebrovascular disease, heart failure, ischaemic heart

Protective role of CXCR7 activation in neonatal hyperoxia-induced systemic vascular remodeling and cardiovascular dysfunction in juvenile rats

Scientific Reports, 2023
Neonatal hyperoxia induces long-term systemic vascular stiffness and cardiovascular remodeling, but the mechanisms are unclear. Chemokine receptor 7 (CXCR7) represents a key regulator of vascular homeostasis and repair by modulating TGF-β1 signaling ...

Microvascular alterations in hypertension and vascular aging [PDF]

, 2017
Hypertension and aging are characterized by vascular remodelling and stiffness as well as endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function declines with age, since aging is associated with senescence of the endothelium due to increased rate of apoptosis and
