The Effect of Telmisartan on Endothelial Function and Arterial Stiffness in Patients With Essential Hypertension
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several studies have shown that angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) improve endothelial function and arterial stiffness. Telmisartan is a highly selective ARB that activates peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of telmisartan, such as endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and insulin...

متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Endothelial Function in Patients With -Thalassemia Major
Background—Increased iron store has been linked to risk of cardiovascular disease. Structural alterations of arteries in -thalassemia major patients and in vitro functional disturbance of vascular endothelial cells by thalassemic serum have been described. We sought to determine whether arterial stiffness and endothelial function are altered in vivo. Methods and Results—Thirty thalassemia patie...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and endothelial function: key players in vascular health.
Functional assessment of the blood pressure waveform helps us to obtain an estimation of the arterial stiffness or its converse, arterial elasticity.1 Several epidemiological studies have clearly demonstrated that arterial stiffness is a significant predictor of cardiovascular disease incidence in the general population.2 There is clear evidence now that decreased arterial elasticity or increas...
متن کاملAging, arterial stiffness, and hypertension.
A lthough the etiology of essential hypertension remains unknown, it is clear that multiple factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of hypertension. Hypertension is an outcome of the interaction of multiple genetic and environmental factors. Several epidemiological studies indicated that the incidence of arterial stiffness and hypertension and related cardiovascular disease (stroke, myocardi...
