Arterial stiffness and cardiovascular outcome.
1. Studies have reported an association between arterial function indices and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the risk of incident cardiovascular events, including coronary heart disease and stroke. 2. The data are overwhelmingly in favour of an independent role for aortic pulse wave velocity in predicting fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in healthy and diseased populations and...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Cardiovascular Therapy
The world population is aging and the number of old people is continuously increasing. Arterial structure and function change with age, progressively leading to arterial stiffening. Arterial stiffness is best characterized by measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is its surrogate marker. It has been shown that PWV could improve cardiovascular event prediction in models that included s...
متن کاملVascular calcification, cardiovascular risk and arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients
Intimal and medial calcification, the two main types of arterial calcification, are associated, respectively, with arteriosclerosis and mediosclerosis. In non-dialysis patients, both intimal1 and medial calcification2 may be the result of an active regulated process with different aetiologies, where local cells, such as macrophages in the intima or vascular smooth cells in the media, differenti...
متن کاملObesity, arterial stiffness, and cardiovascular risk.
Long-term follow-up studies have indicated that obesity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk in both genders. Increased arterial stiffness, as reflected by an increased pulse wave velocity, is significantly and independently associated with higher risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that individuals with obesity are likely to ...
متن کاملRole of arterial stiffness in cardiovascular disease
Propagation of the pressure wave along the arterial tree (pulse wave velocity [PWV]) is related to the intrinsic elasticity of the arterial wall. PWV is increased in stiffer arteries and, when measured over the aorta, is an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Given the predictive power of PWV, identifying strategies that prevent or reduce stiffening may be important...
