Image-free ultrasound for local and regional vascular stiffness assessment: the ARTSENS Plus

Journal of Hypertension, 2022
Objective: The combined assessment of vascular health markers is crucial for identifying the cumulative burden of vascular risk factors early on, as well as the extent of vascular aging for effective prediction of future cardiovascular events.

Vascular Stiffness: Measurements, Mechanisms and Implications

Current Vascular Pharmacology, 2004
Aging is the dominant process altering vascular stiffness. Risk factors for cardiovascular disease, such as smoking, hypertension and diabetes mellitus, mediate their effects by altering the structure, properties, and function of the vascular wall and endothelial components. Increased vascular stiffness exerts greater afterload stress on the heart. The

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 ...

Sex differences in sympathetic activity and vascular stiffness in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

AJP - Renal Physiology
BACKGROUND Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by sympathetic nervous system (SNS) overactivity that contributes to increased vascular stiffness and cardiovascular risk.

Stroke and Cardio-ankle Vascular Stiffness Index

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2013
We investigated the relationship between stroke and cardio-ankle vascular stiffness index (CAVI), a novel noninvasive measure of vascular stiffness.Eighty-five patients with cerebrovascular disease who underwent CAVI were enrolled in the current study. They were 63 men and 22 women with a mean age of 70.0 ± 10.8 years.

Associations between vascular health and brain stiffness

ISMRM Annual Meeting, 2023
Vascular health is a predictor of cognitive outcomes, but the relationship between the two remains incompletely understood. Here we tested the hypothesis that brain stiffness is significantly associated with vascular health as assessed by white matter hyperintensity (WMH) load and the presence of systemic risk factors.

Is Vascular Stiffness a Target for Therapy?

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2010
Early 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 ...

Vascular stiffness in chronic kidney disease

2015
Abstract 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 ...

Airflow limitation as a risk factor for vascular stiffness

The International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, 2020
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and atherosclerosis is a cause of cardiac comorbidities in COPD. However, it is not clear whether airflow limitation is associated with atherosclerosis irrespective of smoking.OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether ...

Retinal dynamic vascular biomarkers of arterial stiffness

2022
Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. Cardiovascular diseases have been the leading causes of mortality across the globe over the past 15 years. There is a growing recognition of the links between small and large vessels impairment in arterial stiffness.
