Arterial stiffness: reflections on the arterial pulse.
Arteriosclerosis—arterial stiffening—is the basic cause of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and the present epidemic of heart failure in the elderly. Arteriosclerosis is equally important for the development of coronary events, stroke, dementia, and renal failure. The underlying pathology was described by Osler as ‘senile arteriosclerosis’ to distinguish it from essential hypertension (Osle...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness Relations Between Dairy Food Intake and Arterial Stiffness Pulse Wave Velocity and Pulse Pressure
Modifiable risk factors, such as diet, are becomingly increasingly important in the management of cardiovascular disease, one of the greatest major causes of death and disease burden. Few studies have examined the role of diet as a possible means of reducing arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity, an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The aim...
متن کاملArterial stiffness, pulse pressure, and the kidney.
Classical studies indicate that the contribution of kidneys to hypertension is almost exclusively related to the association between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and vascular resistance. Recent reports including estimates of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have shown that pulse pressure (PP) and pulse wave velocity, 2 major indices of arterial stiffness, now emerge as significant predictors of...
متن کاملThe influence of dialytic modality on arterial stiffness, pulse wave reflections, and vasomotor function.
BACKGROUND Measurements of aortic stiffness [aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (Alx)] have been established as powerful predictors of survival on hemodialysis (HD). Abnormal endothelial-dependent and endothelial-independent vascular reactivity and increased arterial stiffness are commonly described in HD patients. There is, however, a lack of information on the comparative...
متن کاملStudies on arterial stiffness and wave reflections in hypertension.
BACKGROUND Patho-physiological and pharmacological studies have consistently noticed that, with the exception of subjects with end-stage renal disease, total intravascular blood volume is not increased in patients with chronic hypertension. METHODS Because the mean circulatory pressure is enhanced in such subjects, it was postulated that the compliance of the cardiovascular system could be ab...
