Do arterial stiffness and wave reflection underlie cardiovascular risk in ethnic minorities?
Increasing evidence indicates that remarkable differences in cardiovascular risk between ethnic groups cannot be fully explained by traditional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes or dislipidemia measured in midlife. Therefore, the underlying pathophysiology leading to this "excess risk" in ethnic minority groups is still poorly understood, and one way to address this issue is to shift ...
متن کاملRelations of inflammatory biomarkers and common genetic variants with arterial stiffness and wave reflection.
Inflammation causes vascular dysfunction and perpetuates proatherosclerotic processes. We hypothesized that a broad panel of inflammatory biomarkers and single nucleotide polymorphisms in inflammatory genes is associated with vascular stiffness. We assessed 12 circulating inflammatory biomarkers (C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, interleukin-6, intercellular adhesion molecule-1, lipoprotein-assoc...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness Arterial Stiffness and Wave Reflection Sex Differences and Relationship With Left Ventricular Diastolic Function
Increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been reported in heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) and in asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, a precursor of HFNEF. It is unclear whether women, who have higher frequency of HFNEF, are more vulnerable than men to the deleterious effects of arterial stiffness on LV diastolic function. We investigated, i...
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 ...
متن کاملserum uric acid level and diverse impacts on regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection
background: both increased arterial stiffness and hyperuricaemia are associated with elevated cardiovascular risks. little is known about the relations of serum uric acid (ua) level to regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection. the aim of the study was to investigate the gender-specific association of serum ua and indices of arterial function in a community-based investigation in china. m...
