Arterial stiffness, vascular disease, and risk of cardiovascular events.
Most cardiovascular morbid events are the consequence of a progressive vascular disease called atherosclerosis. This disease begins at an early age, probably initially with a defect or injury of the arterial endothelial protective function, and progresses with structural remodeling in the microcirculation and cellular and lipid accumulation in conduit arteries complicated by calcification, plaq...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and cardiovascular events: the Framingham Heart Study.
BACKGROUND Various measures of arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been proposed as cardiovascular risk markers. Prior studies have not assessed relations of a comprehensive panel of stiffness measures to prognosis in the community. METHODS AND RESULTS We used proportional hazards models to analyze first-onset major cardiovascular disease events (myocardial infarction, unstable angina...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and cardiovascular outcome.
1. Studies have reported an association between arterial function indices and cardiovascular risk factors, as well as the risk of incident cardiovascular events, including coronary heart disease and stroke. 2. The data are overwhelmingly in favour of an independent role for aortic pulse wave velocity in predicting fatal and non-fatal cardiovascular events in healthy and diseased populations and...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Cardiovascular Therapy
The world population is aging and the number of old people is continuously increasing. Arterial structure and function change with age, progressively leading to arterial stiffening. Arterial stiffness is best characterized by measurement of pulse wave velocity (PWV), which is its surrogate marker. It has been shown that PWV could improve cardiovascular event prediction in models that included s...
متن کاملObesity, arterial stiffness, and cardiovascular risk.
Long-term follow-up studies have indicated that obesity is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk in both genders. Increased arterial stiffness, as reflected by an increased pulse wave velocity, is significantly and independently associated with higher risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that individuals with obesity are likely to ...
