Inflammatory 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 کاملArterial 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 کاملPolymorphisms of inflammatory markers/mediators and arterial stiffness.
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Schumacher et al, 1 which sheds new light into the still-controversial issue of the contribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the pathogenesis of cardio-vascula...
متن کاملGenetic variants of inflammatory markers and arterial stiffness.
Atherosclerotic disease is a primary cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This disease is generally undiagnosed before the onset of symptoms or complications. Experimental and clinical evidence indicate that inflammation is central to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.1 Therefore, vascular inflammation may serve as a potential marker of the disease process itself. Al...
متن کاملArterial 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...
