Association of the human gut microbiota with vascular stiffness. [PDF]

open access: yesSci Rep, 2023
AbstractGut microbiota metabolites have been mechanistically linked to inflammatory pathway activation and atherosclerosis, which are major causes of vascular stiffness (VS). Aiming to investigate if the gut microbiome might be involved in VS development, we performed a cross-sectional study (n = 3,087), nested within the population-based European ...

Advances in Vascular Stiffness: Part II [PDF]

open access: yes
The assessment of vascular stiffness is gaining significance in cardiovascular research due to the need to analyze the properties of the arterial system and perform clinical evaluations of patients. Ongoing research seeks to resolve technical and methodological challenges in measuring arterial stiffness, aiming to enhance its reliability and clinical ...

Fabrication of Hydrogel Tubes with Vascular Mimicked Stiffness for Construction of in Vitro Vascular Models

open access: yesACS Applied Bio Materials, 2018
Stiffness of blood vessels is one of the most important parameters involving in vascular diseases. However, no vascular model well mimics the stiffness of native blood vessels, and thus, the effects of vascular stiffness on endothelial cells cannot be studied in vitro.

Assessment of Arterial Stiffness with Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index in Patients with Mitral Annular Calcification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Objective: Arterial stiffness is related to arteriolosclerotic diseases and is a marker of adverse cardiovascular events. Mitral annular calcification (MAC) is progressive calcium deposition on the posterior and inferior mitral annulus and is associated ...

Sodium Intake and Vascular Stiffness in Hypertension [PDF]

open access: yesHypertension, 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).

Vascular Stiffness [PDF]

open access: yesClinical 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 ...

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

open access: yesRUDN 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.

Carotid stiffness and physical activity in elderly : a short report of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in the general population. While smaller studies in specified groups (highly trained versus untrained individuals) indicate a certain dose-dependent effect of physical ...

The Clinical Significance and Application of Vascular Stiffness Measurements [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hypertension, 2018
Abstract Increasing evidence points out at vascular stiffness (and in particular aortic stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity) as a reliable biomarker of vascular aging, able to integrate in a single measure the overall burden of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors on the vasculature over time; furthermore, it may be per se a mechanism ...
