Arterial stiffness assessment in patients with phenylketonuria
In patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) compliant to diet greater tendency to overweight and higher inflammatory biomarkers levels than controls were reported. Although this could lead to atherogenesis, the elastic properties of large arteries in PKU patients have never been assessed. The aim of this study was to assess arterial stiffness measured by applanation tonometry in PKU patients compare...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Pre-Transplant Arterial Stiffness and the Impact of Kidney Transplantation on Arterial Stiffness
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is closely associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) in end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. However, the clinical significance of pre-transplant arterial stiffness and the impact of kidney transplantation (KT) on arterial stiffness have not yet been determined. METHOD We measured the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) before KT and one year after ...
متن کاملArterial stiffness: clinical relevance, measurement and treatment.
Most traditional cardiovascular risk factors alter the structure and/or function of arteries. An assessment of arterial wall integrity could therefore allow accurate prediction of cardiovascular risk in individuals. The term 'arterial stiffness' denotes alterations in the mechanical properties of arteries, and much effort has focused on how best to measure this. Pulse pressure, pulse wave veloc...
متن کاملAssessment of the Arterial Stiffness Index as a Clinical Parameter for Atherosclerotic Coronary Artery Disease
Background:Arterial stiffening increases both the systolic blood and pulse pressures, which is known to be a major contributor to atherosclerosis and the most important cause of cardiovascular disease. The aims of this study were to assess the feasibility of the arterial stiffness index (ASI), using a computerized oscillometric device, by comparison with the pulse wave velocity (PWV), and to in...
