Arterial distensibility in children and teenagers: normal evolution and the effect of childhood vasculitis.
BACKGROUND Polyarteritis nodosa is a necrotising vasculitis of the medium sized and small muscular arteries. The inflammatory and subsequent reparative processes may alter the arterial mechanical properties. The effect of vasculitic damage on arterial distensibility has never been explored however. AIM To determine the normal values and the effect of childhood vasculitis on arterial distensib...
متن کاملIntima-media thickness and arterial function in obese and non-obese children
BACKGROUND Obesity is an independent cardiovascular risk factor that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis. Subclinical forms of the disease can be assessed via sonographic measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) and distensibility - both may already be altered in childhood. As childhood obesity increases to an alarming extent, this study compares vascular data of obese...
متن کاملCholesterol and arterial distensibility in the first decade of life: a population-based study.
BACKGROUND Blood cholesterol levels are a key determinant of coronary heart disease risk in adults, but the importance of lipid levels in the general population during childhood is less clear. We related arterial distensibility, a marker of vascular function known to be altered early in atherosclerosis, to the lipid profile of a population-based sample of children aged 9 to 11 years. METHODS ...

متن کاملDecreased peripheral arterial volume distensibility in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion in comparison with normal subjects
This study aimed to quantify arterial volume distensibility in patients with branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) in comparison with normal subjects and to investigate factors associated with their differences. 40 normal subjects and 30 BRVO patients were studied. Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured to determine arterial volume distensibility. In comparison with the normal s...
