Dietary potassium regulates vascular calcification and arterial stiffness [PDF]

JCI Insight, 2017
Vascular calcification is a risk factor that predicts adverse cardiovascular complications of several diseases including atherosclerosis. Reduced dietary potassium intake has been linked to cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and incidental stroke, although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain largely unknown.

Arterial Stiffness Assessed by Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Arterial stiffness is an age-related disorder. In the medial layer of arteries, mechanical fracture due to fatigue failure for the pulsatile wall strain causes medial degeneration vascular remodeling. The alteration of extracellular matrix composition and arterial geometry result in structural arterial stiffness.

EVALUATION OF VASCULAR STIFFNESS SECONDARY TO VASCULAR CALCIFICATIONS IN AMBULATORY DIALYSIS PATIENTS

Romanian Medical Journal, 2021
Arterial stiffness provides an indirect picture of vascular calcifications in terms of the effect they have on the systemic circulation and consequently on the heart. The present study sought to demonstrate the usefulness of outpatient investigation of vascular calcifications in dialysis patients using pulse wave velocity (PWV) determination.

Retinal micro-vascular and aortic macro-vascular changes in postmenopausal women with primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]

, 2018
Aim of the study was to evaluate the micro and macro-vascular changes in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) compared to controls. 30 postmenopausal PHPT women (15 hypertensive and 15 normotensive) and 30 normotensive controls underwent ...

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.

Is porto sinusoidal vascular disease to be actively searched in patients with portal vein thrombosis? [PDF]

, 2019
Porto sinusoidal vascular liver disease (PSVD) and portal vein thrombosis (PVT) are distinct vascular liver diseases characterized, respectively, by an intrahepatic and a prehepatic obstacle to the flow in the liver portal system. PVT may also occur as a

Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Load in Heart Failure [PDF]

Congestive Heart Failure, 2008
“Men are born soft and supple; dead, they are stiff and hard. Plants are born tender and pliant; dead, they are brittle and dry. Thus whoever is stiff and inflexible is a disciple of death. Whoever is soft and yielding is a disciple of life. The hard and stiff will be broken.

Central blood pressure and vascular stiffness in Mexican population [PDF]

Archivos de cardiolog�a de M�xico (English ed. Internet), 2020
Central blood pressure (CBP) is considered a measure of prognostic value for cardiovascular risk. In turn, the aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVAo) and augmentation index (Aix) have been related to arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk. Controversies exist regarding the reference values in different ethnic groups, ages, and anthropometrics.
