Arterial stiffness assessment in patients with phenylketonuria
In patients with phenylketonuria (PKU) compliant to diet greater tendency to overweight and higher inflammatory biomarkers levels than controls were reported. Although this could lead to atherogenesis, the elastic properties of large arteries in PKU patients have never been assessed. The aim of this study was to assess arterial stiffness measured by applanation tonometry in PKU patients compare...
متن کاملArterial stiffness index: A new evaluation for arterial stiffness in elderly patients with essential hypertension
Background: Arterial stiffness is one of the predictors of cardiovascular event. Arterial stiffness is commonly measured by pulse wave velocity between the carotid and femoral arteries. Recently the arterial stiffness index which is measured by computerized oscillometry at the upper arm was developed. As this procedure is a convenient means of measuring pulse wave velocity, we considered it sui...
متن کاملProinflammatory CD14+CD16+ monocytes are associated with vascular stiffness in predialysis patients with chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND Chronic inflammation is frequently noted in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and contributes to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Monocytes are heterogeneous populations of cells, and they can be divided into subtypes with different phenotypes and functions based on CD14 and CD16 positivity. This study examined whether the proinflammatory CD14(+)CD...
متن کاملIncreased Arterial Stiffness in Behcet’s Disease Patients
Background and Objectives:Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an ideal indicator of arterial stiffness. This study investigated arterial stiffness of different vascular regions in patients suffering with Behcet’s disease (BD), and we assessed whether arterial stiffness was affected by the clinical parameters of BD. Subjects and Methods:This study included 53 BD patients (mean age: 38±8 years) and 65 h...
متن کاملSerum Mimecan Is Associated With Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Mimecan plays an important role in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell integrity and may be involved the pathology of arterial stiffness. However, the role of mimecan in arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 116 hypertension patients and 54 healthy controls were enrolled in the investigation. Hypertensive patien...
