Measurements of Arterial Stiffness: Methodological Aspects
A significant association between increased arterial stiffness and the development of cardiovascular disease has led to the increased use of arterial stiffness in the clinical assessment of cardiovascular risk. Various methods are currently available. With advances in technology, the assessment methods have become easy to use and more acceptable to patients. However, the different techniques th...
متن کاملIncreased arterial stiffness in children on haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Measures of aortic stiffness--aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx)--have been shown to be powerful predictors of survival in adult haemodialysis (HD) patients. Very few data have been reported regarding arterial stiffness in paediatric renal populations. METHODS PWV and aortic AIx were determined from contour analysis of arterial waveforms recorded by appla...
متن کاملIncreased Arterial Stiffness in Behcet’s Disease Patients
Background and Objectives:Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an ideal indicator of arterial stiffness. This study investigated arterial stiffness of different vascular regions in patients suffering with Behcet’s disease (BD), and we assessed whether arterial stiffness was affected by the clinical parameters of BD. Subjects and Methods:This study included 53 BD patients (mean age: 38±8 years) and 65 h...
متن کاملDoes Increased Arterial Stiffness Herald Cognitive Impairment?
See related article, p 2256. Cognitive impairment or dementia is one of the most frequent causes of disability in the elderly. A recent metaanalysis reports global prevalence of dementia from all causes to be between 5% and 7% of adults of age >60 years. It doubles every 5 years and reaches >30% at the age of 90 years in the most regions of world. Dementia has become a significant economic burd...
متن کاملEvaluation of Arterial Stiffness by Echocardiography: Methodological Aspects
As humans age, degenerative changes in the arterial structure gradually progress and result in the stiffening of the arteries, which is called arteriosclerosis. Arterial stiffness is now an established risk factor of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This stiffening has adverse effects for both the general population as well as for patients with CVD. Measurements of pulse wave velocity and pulse wa...
