Age-related abnormalities in arterial compliance identified by pressure pulse contour analysis: aging and arterial compliance.
The objective of this study was to evaluate age-related changes in pulsatile arterial function. Aging alters arterial pulsatile function and produces consistent changes in the pressure pulse contour. A reduced systemic arterial compliance that can be derived from analysis of the pulse contour is regarded as the best clinical index of impaired pulsatile arterial function and may mark the presenc...
متن کاملHemodynamic correlates of arterial compliance.
There is at present no good understanding of the exact clinical correlates of arterial compliance. The purpose of this study was to establish which hemodynamic variables are most strongly associated with compliance. Hemodynamic measurements were performed on 41 patients undergoing diagnostic cardiac catheterization. Cardiac outputs were determined by thermodilution, and pressures were measured ...
متن کاملProteinuria: a link to understanding changes in vascular compliance?
Hypertension is a well-known risk factor associated with high cardiovascular risk and kidney disease progression. Proteinuria commonly occurs in concert with hypertension in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The spectrum of albuminuria, from microalbuminaria ( 30 but 300 mg per day) to macroalbuminuria (proteinuria) ( 300 mg per day) is associated with a linear increase in risk of cardi...
متن کاملAging, habitual exercise, and dynamic arterial compliance.
BACKGROUND A reduction in compliance of the large-sized cardiothoracic (central) arteries is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease with advancing age. METHODS AND RESULTS We determined the role of habitual exercise on the age-related decrease in central arterial compliance by using both cross-sectional and interventional approaches. First, we studied 151 hea...
متن کاملIrbesartan improves arterial compliance more than lisinopril
BACKGROUND Antihypertensive agents can reduce arterial stiffness. We hypothesized that an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) irbesartan and an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) lisinopril improved arterial compliance. METHODS A randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, controlled crossover trial. Fifteen hypertensive patients, mean age 65.5 +/- 8.9 years (mean +/- SD) were given ir...
