Studies on arterial stiffness and wave reflections in hypertension.
BACKGROUND Patho-physiological and pharmacological studies have consistently noticed that, with the exception of subjects with end-stage renal disease, total intravascular blood volume is not increased in patients with chronic hypertension. METHODS Because the mean circulatory pressure is enhanced in such subjects, it was postulated that the compliance of the cardiovascular system could be ab...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and wave reflections in renal transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and has been well documented in haemodialysis patients. Information in renal transplant recipients (RTR), however, remains limited despite their higher CVD risk compared to the general population. We aimed to assess arterial stiffening and wave reflections in RTR and healthy controls and to evaluate which factors could e...
متن کاملHeart rate, arterial stiffness, and wave reflections in paced patients.
Elevated heart rate (HR) and pulse pressure (PP) have a cumulative effect on cardiovascular risk, with the exception of HR >/=100 bpm. How an increase in HR may influence the PP level has never been investigated. In 11 patients with pacemaker monitoring, aortic (pulse-wave analysis) and digital (photoplethysmographic device) blood pressure were measured at 3 different levels of HR, together wit...
متن کاملAcute systemic inflammation increases arterial stiffness and decreases wave reflections in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND Aortic stiffness is a marker of cardiovascular disease and an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. Although an association between inflammatory markers and increased arterial stiffness has been suggested, the causative relationship between inflammation and arterial stiffness has not been investigated. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred healthy individuals were studied accordi...
متن کاملArterial stiffness: reflections on the arterial pulse.
Arteriosclerosis—arterial stiffening—is the basic cause of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and the present epidemic of heart failure in the elderly. Arteriosclerosis is equally important for the development of coronary events, stroke, dementia, and renal failure. The underlying pathology was described by Osler as ‘senile arteriosclerosis’ to distinguish it from essential hypertension (Osle...
