Insulin-resistance HCV infection-related affects vascular stiffness in normotensives.
BACKGROUND AND AIMS. Arterial stiffness evaluated as pulse wave velocity, is an early marker of vascular damage and an independent predictor for cardiovascular events. We investigated if the insulin resistance/hyperinsulinemia chronic hepatitis C virus infection-related could influence arterial stiffness. METHODS. We enrolled 260 outpatients matched for age, body mass index, gender, ethnicity: ...
متن کاملEthnic differences in estrogen metabolism in healthy women.
The high incidence of breast cancer observed in young African-American women (7) and the apparent aggressiveness of the disease in this ethnic group (2) might be because of biologic differences, such as genetic susceptibility to environmental factors and/or hormonal levels. We have recently shown (3) that a polymorphism in the CYP1 Al gene, which is involved in estrogen metabolism, is significa...
متن کاملBlood Vessels Aortic Calcification Is Associated With Aortic Stiffness and Isolated Systolic Hypertension in Healthy Individuals
Arterial stiffening is an independent predictor of mortality and underlies the development of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH). A number of factors regulate stiffness, but arterial calcification is also likely to be important. We tested the hypotheses that aortic calcification is associated with aortic stiffness in healthy individuals and that patients with ISH exhibit exaggerated aortic ca...

متن کاملAortic propagation velocity does not correlate with classical aortic stiffness parameters in healthy individuals
OBJECTIVE Aortic stiffness is an important cardiovascular risk marker, which can be determined using different noninvasive techniques. Aortic propagation velocity (APV) has recently been established as a novel echocardiographic parameter of aortic stiffness. This study aimed to investigate the association between APV and the classical echocardiography-derived aortic stiffness parameters, aortic...
