Vascular Stiffness in Women With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus [PDF]

Hypertension, 2001
Abstract —Large-vessel manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a multisystem disease characterized by disturbances in the immune system, include higher than expected rates of hypertension and cardiovascular disease.

Effect Of Mirthful Laughter On Vascular Function [PDF]

, 2010
In contrast to the well-established scientific evidence linking negative emotional states (e.g., depression, anxiety, or anger) to increased risk for cardiovascular disease, much less is known about the association between positive emotional states (e.g.,

Vascular age concept: role in assessing risk and choosing therapy

Медицинский 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 ...

Pulmonary artery stiffness in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (copd) and emphysema: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) COPD Study [PDF]

, 2018
Purpose: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and particularly emphysema are characterized by stiffness of the aorta, due in part to accelerated elastin degradation in the lungs and aorta. Stiffness of the pulmonary arteries (PAs) may also be

Age and vascular aging: an unexplored frontier

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
Vascular age is an emerging field in cardiovascular risk assessment. This concept includes multifactorial changes in the arterial wall, with arterial stiffness as its most relevant manifestation, leading to increased arterial pressure and pulsatile flow ...

Angiogenic and angiostatic factors in renal scleroderma-associated vasculopathy [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The angiogenesis in systemic sclerosis (SSc) is impaired. An imbalance of pro-angiogenic factors and angiogenesis inhibitors has been implicated in the progression of peripheral microvascular damage, defective vascular repair and fibrosis ...

TRPV4-A Missing Link Between Mechanosensation and Immunity [PDF]

, 2020
Transient receptor potential vanilloid-type 4 (TRPV4) cation channel is widely expressed in all tissues as well as in immune cells and its function as mechanosensitive Ca2+ channel seems to be conserved throughout all mammalian species. Of late, emerging

Deletion of the microRNA-degrading nuclease, translin/trax, prevents pathogenic vascular stiffness.

American Journal of Physiology. Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2019
Vascular stiffness plays a key role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Recent studies indicatethat the age associated reduction in miR-181b levels in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)contributes to increased vascular stiffness.

Impact of Sodium–Glucose Cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) Inhibitors on Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Aging—What Do We Know So Far? (A Narrative Review)

Life, 2022
Vascular aging, early vascular aging or supernormal vascular aging are concepts used for estimating the cardiovascular risk at a certain age. From the famous line of Thomas Sydenham that “a man is as old as his arteries” to the present day, clinical ...
