Adipokines and Arterial Stiffness in Obesity

open access: yesMedicina, 2021
Adipokines are active molecules with pleiotropic effects produced by adipose tissue and involved in obesity-related metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness, which is a consequence of arteriosclerosis, has been shown to be an independent

The focal adhesion: a regulated component of aortic stiffness. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Increased aortic stiffness is an acknowledged predictor and cause of cardiovascular disease. The sources and mechanisms of vascular stiffness are not well understood, although the extracellular matrix (ECM) has been assumed to be a major component.

Determination of Peak Oxygen Uptake in Patients with Acute Myocardial Infarction: The Role of Arterial Stiffness in Cardio–Vascular–Skeletal Muscle Coupling

open access: yes, 2023
The relationship between arterial stiffness and oxygen uptake (VO2) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) remains unclear. We aimed to investigate this relationship and factors contributing to VO2 in patients with AMI.

Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Load in Heart Failure [PDF]

open access: yesCongestive 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.

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

open access: yesRomanian 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.

Impaired renal function impacts negatively on vascular stiffness in patients with coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
<p>Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) are independently associated with increased vascular stiffness. We examined whether renal function contributes to vascular stiffness independently of CAD status.</p>

Vascular age concept: role in assessing risk and choosing therapy

open access: yesМедицинский совет, 2020
The article discusses the vascular age concept and modern approaches to assessing vascular age. It describes modern methods for measuring arterial stiffness (applanation tonometry or ultrasonic Doppler examination) as the most frequently used index of ...

Association of increased vascular stiffness with cardiovascular death and heart failure episodes following intervention on symptomatic degenerative aortic stenosis

open access: yes, 2022
Background. The resistive (RI) and pulsatile (PI) indices are markers of vascular stiffness (VS) which are associated with outcomes in patients with cardiovascular disease.
