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 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 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 کاملAdiposity, Obesity, and Arterial Aging
A ortic stiffness is a key characteristic of arterial aging and a strong predictor of cardiovascular events. An exaggerated blood pressure response during daily activities, producing increased load on the heart and blood vessels, is among the pathogenic consequences of an inelastic aorta. 5 In view of the important pathophysiological role of aortic stiffness, the modi-fiable determinants of sti...
متن کاملHabitual exercise and arterial aging.
Aging affects the function and structure of arteries and increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). In healthy sedentary adults, aging is associated with increased stiffness (reduced compliance) of large elastic arteries; impaired vascular endothelial function, including reductions in endothelium-dependent dilation (EDD), release of tissue-type plasminogen activator (fibrinolytic capa...
