Magnesium and arterial stiffness.
Magnesium and Arterial Stiffness To The Editor: We read with interest the paper by S. Laurent et al1 dealing with structural and genetic bases of arterial stiffness. The authors reviewed data concerning the heritability of arterial stiffness and propose an integrated view of the structural and genetic determinants of arterial stiffness based on a candidate gene approach and recent studies on ge...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Arterial Aging
The process of population ageing that is occurring in developed societies represents a major challenge for the health system. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, representing half of the deaths in people over 65 years old. Among the CVD, systemic arterial hypertension is related to more than half of those outcomes [1]. The non-modifia...
متن کاملArterial stiffness
Measurements of biomechanical properties of arteries have become an important surrogate outcome used in epidemiological and interventional cardiovascular research. Structural and functional differences of vessels in the arterial tree result in a dampening of pulsatility and smoothing of blood flow as it progresses to capillary level. A loss of arterial elastic properties results a range of link...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness
Stiffness of large arteries has been long recognized as a significant determinant of pulse pressure. However, it is only in recent decades, with the accumulation of longitudinal data from large and varied epidemiological studies of morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular disease, that it has emerged as an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. This has generated substantia...
متن کاملAging and arterial stiffness.
Arterial walls stiffen with age. The most consistent and well-reported changes are luminal enlargement with wall thickening and a reduction of elastic properties at the level of large elastic arteries. Longstanding arterial pulsation in the central artery causes elastin fiber fatigue and fracture. Increased vascular calcification and endothelial dysfunction are also characteristic of arterial a...
