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.

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

PLoS 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.

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.

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.

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 ...

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.

Diabetic Cardiovascular Disease Induced by Oxidative Stress. [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM can lead to multiple cardiovascular complications, including coronary artery disease (CAD), cardiac hypertrophy, and heart failure

Matrix stiffness exacerbates the proinflammatory responses of vascular smooth muscle cell through the DDR1-DNMT1 mechanotransduction axis

Bioactive Materials, 2022
Vascular smooth muscle cell (vSMC) is highly plastic as its phenotype can change in response to mechanical cues inherent to the extracellular matrix (ECM).
