Association of resting heart rate with carotid and aortic arterial stiffness: multi-ethnic study of atherosclerosis.
Resting heart rate is an easily measured, noninvasive vital sign that is associated with cardiovascular disease events. The pathophysiology of this association is not known. We investigated the relationship between resting heart rate and stiffness of the carotid (a peripheral artery) and the aorta (a central artery) in an asymptomatic multi-ethnic population. Resting heart rate was recorded at ...
متن کاملResting Heart Rate and Aortic Stiffness in Normotensive Adults
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Large-artery stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is considered the gold standard measure of arterial stiffness. A resting heart rate is an easily measured vital sign that is also associated with CVD morbidity and mortality. Previous studies have reported the significant relationship of a...
متن کاملHeart rate and arterial stiffness.
In their recent study, Ozdogru et al. [1] concluded that the pulse wave velocity was impaired and was improved after successful percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty in patients with mitral stenosis, which reveal that mitral stenosis is a factor related to impaired arterial stiffness. However, there is an uncertainty in interpreting the results of this study. Both structural and functional changes...
متن کاملResponse to importance of pressure pulse amplification in the association of resting heart rate and arterial stiffness.
Importance of Pressure Pulse Amplification in the Association of Resting Heart Rate and Arterial Stiffness To the Editor: The study by Whelton et al1 shows that resting heart rate is independently associated with arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness was quantified as distensibility and determined from ultrasound measurements of carotid diameter and MRI measurements of aortic diameter. Distens...
متن کاملEchogenic carotid plaques are associated with aortic arterial stiffness in subjects with subclinical carotid atherosclerosis.
A better understanding of the interrelationships between the structure and function of the large arteries would lead to optimize cardiovascular disease prevention strategies. In this study, we investigated the relationships of aortic arterial stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (PWV), with carotid plaque echogenicity assessed by B-mode ultrasound. We analyzed 561 subjects ...
