Arterial stiffness in chronic inflammatory diseases.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are associated with premature atherosclerosis; however, it is unknown whether arterial stiffness is increased in this setting, possibly as a manifestation of vascular disease preceding and/or independent of atherosclerosis. Carotid ultrasonography and radial applanation tonometry were performed in 101 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, 80 patients with rhe...
متن کاملInflammatory Markers for Arterial Stiffness in Cardiovascular Diseases
Arterial stiffness predicts an increased risk of cardiovascular events. Inflammation plays a major role in large arteries stiffening, related to atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis, endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell migration, vascular calcification, increased activity of metalloproteinases, extracellular matrix degradation, oxidative stress, elastolysis, and degradation of collagen. Th...
متن کاملLipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 and arterial stiffness evaluation in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS The association between inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains equivocal. Arterial stiffness, as assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV), and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2) are surrogates of CVD risk. AIM The aim of this study was to assess carotid-femoral PWV and Lp-PLA2 in patients with IBD without history of CVD. ME...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Chronic Kidney Disease.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health concern due to the high prevalence of associated cardiovascular (CV) disease. CV mortality is 10-30 times higher in end-stage renal disease patients than in the age-adjusted general population. The last 20 years have been marked by a huge effort in the characterization of the vascular remodeling process associated with CKD and its consequenc...
متن کاملChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Arterial Stiffness
Comorbidities are common in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Cardiovascular comorbidity is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in COPD patients. Low lung function is a risk factor for increased arterial stiffness, a condition that is common in COPD patients, independent of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor both for all...
