Arterial 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 aging: a brief review.
Aging is associated with changes in arterial wall structure and function that exceed physiological adaptation, with an increased risk of cardiovascular events. The most consistent structural changes are luminal enlargement (dilatation), wall thickening (remodeling), and a reduction of elastic properties. Endothelial dysfunction plays an important role in the functional changes that occur with a...
متن کاملArterial tortuosity syndrome–A case report from Iran
Introduction: Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS), an autosomal recessive rare connective tissue disorder characterized by tortuosity, elongation and stenosis in the large and medium sized arteries. It manifestations include vascular and nonvascular connective tissue related symptoms. In this literature we describe the first cases of ATS from Iran. Case report: A six-months-old female wa...
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...
متن کاملAtherosclerosis from a viewpoint of arterial wall cell function: relation to vitamin E.
Vitamin E affects many key events in atheromatous lesions. Inhibition of EC injury and platelet aggregation was already reported. Foam cell formation must be inhibited according to the data presented by us and other speakers. However, effects on cell proliferation of SMC are paradoxical. The in vivo effects will be dependent on the effective concentration of vitamin E in the loci.
