Pulse wave analysis in normal pregnancy: a prospective longitudinal study. [PDF]

, 2009
Outside pregnancy, arterial pulse wave analysis provides valuable information in hypertension and vascular disease. Studies in pregnancy using this technique show that vascular stiffness is raised in women with established pre-eclampsia.

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 ...

Smooth Muscle Cell Stiffness Syndrome – Revisiting the Structural Basis of Arterial Stiffness

Frontiers in Physiology, 2015
In recent decades, the pervasiveness of increased arterial stiffness in patients with cardiovascular disease has become increasingly apparent. Though this phenomenon has been well documented in humans and animal models of disease for well over a century,

Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]

, 2015
Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...

Vascular Stiffness in Children With Chronic Kidney Disease [PDF]

Hypertension, 2017
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness associated with cardiovascular events in the general population and in adults with chronic kidney disease. However, few data exist regarding cfPWV in children with chronic kidney disease.

Concentric left ventricular remodeling and aortic stiffness: a comparison of obesity and hypertension. [PDF]

, 2013
BACKGROUND: Increased thoracic ascending aortic stiffness is thought to contribute to concentric left ventricular hypertrophy and increased mortality, a pattern seen in hypertension.

RhoBTB1 reverses established arterial stiffness in angiotensin II–induced hypertension by promoting actin depolymerization

JCI Insight, 2022
Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality, but its treatment remains challenging. Mice treated with angiotensin II (Ang II) develop hypertension, arterial stiffness, vascular dysfunction, and a downregulation of Rho ...

Effects of High Flavanol Dark Chocolate on Cardiovascular Function and Platelet Aggregation. [PDF]

, 2015
Regular consumption of chocolate and cocoa products has been linked to reduced cardiovascular mortality. This study compared the effects of high flavanol dark chocolate (HFDC; 1064mg flavanols/day for 6 weeks) and low flavanol dark chocolate (LFDC; 88mg ...
