Epidemiology/Population Science Modification of the Effect of Glycemic Status on Aortic Distensibility by Age in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

II . Modification of the Effect of Glycemic Status on Aortic Distensibility by 19 Age in the Multi - Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Modification of the effect of glycemic status on aortic distensibility by age in the multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.

Elevated serum glucose from diabetes mellitus (DM) or impaired fasting glucose shares many mechanisms with aging that decrease aortic distensibility (AD), such as glycation of the extracellular matrix. However, few data compare the simultaneous effects of elevated serum glucose and aging on AD. To study this, we examined the relationship among fasting glucose status, age, and AD in the Multi-Et...

بررسی میزان اتساع پذیری آئورت توراسیک و ارتباط آن با پلاکهای آترواسکلروتیک آئورت و عروق کورونری: مطالعه‌ای چند مرکزی با استفاده از دستگاههای توموگرافی کامپیوتری 64 مقطعی و 256 مقطعی

Background and Aim: Despite previously shown relationship between the aortic atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease, the relationship between aortic distensibility and the presence, extent and composition of thoracic aortic plaques (TAP) is not widely assessed. We evaluated the relationship between aortic distensibility and the presence, extent and composition of TAP in current research. ...

Association of resting heart rate with carotid and aortic arterial stiffness: multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.

Resting heart rate is an easily measured, noninvasive vital sign that is associated with cardiovascular disease events. The pathophysiology of this association is not known. We investigated the relationship between resting heart rate and stiffness of the carotid (a peripheral artery) and the aorta (a central artery) in an asymptomatic multi-ethnic population. Resting heart rate was recorded at ...

Epidemiology/Population Science Relationship of Carotid Distensibility and Thoracic Aorta Calcification Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Stiffening of the central elastic arteries is one of the earliest detectable manifestations of adverse change within the vessel wall. Although an association between carotid artery stiffness and adverse events has been demonstrated, little is known about the relationship between stiffness and atherosclerosis. Even less is known about the impact of age, sex, and race on this association. To eluc...
