Arterial stiffness in assessment of impaired left atrial function
Arterial stiffness arises as a result of structural and functional changes in the vascular system wall (1). Its measure has gained importance in recent years in the evaluation of vascular risk due to its important correlation with some of the target organ damage that causes hypertension (2, 3) as well as in a non-hypertensive population (4). The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) is ver...
متن کاملConduit arterial stiffness is associated with impaired left ventricular subendocardial function.
Longitudinal function of the left ventricle is governed by the subendocardial myocardial fibres, whereas radial function is due mainly to contraction of circumferential fibres, localised in the subepicardial layer of the myocardium. In patients with diabetes or hypertension the subendocardial fibres are more likely to be affected by microvascular ischaemia. This can be caused by structural chan...
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 کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index is associated with impaired left atrial mechanical functions in hypertensive diabetic patients: A speckle tracking study
OBJECTIVE The ambulatory arterial stiffness index has been proposed as an indicator of arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that increased ambulatory arterial stiffness index might be related with impaired left atrial function in hypertensive diabetic patients with no previous history of cardiovascular disease. METHODS Inclusion criteria included office systoli...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and left ventricular diastolic function: does sex matter?
Diastolic heart failure with preserved systolic ejection fraction is becoming a major health burden and is responsible for 50% of heart failure hospital admissions. Arterial hypertension is one of the most important risk factors for diastolic dysfunction; however, systolic and diastolic blood pressures are the 2 extreme points of the arterial waveform. Arterial stiffness/elasticity derived from...
