Nebivolol increases arterial distensibility in vivo.
Arterial stiffness is a key determinant of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients. beta-Blockers appear to be less effective than other drugs in improving outcome in hypertensive patients, and a potential explanation may be that beta-blockers are less effective in reducing arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to assess the direct effect of beta-blockade on pulse wave velocity (PW...
متن کاملNitric oxide regulates local arterial distensibility in vivo.
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is an important determinant of cardiovascular risk. Several lines of evidence support a role for the endothelium in regulating arterial stiffness by release of vasoactive mediators. We hypothesized that nitric oxide (NO) acting locally regulates arterial stiffness in vivo, and the aim of this experiment was to test this hypothesis in an ovine hind-limb preparation....
متن کاملArterial Distensibility in Adolescents
Background—Atherosclerosis develops from childhood, but the determinants of this preclinical stage remain uncertain. We examined the relations of classic coronary risk factors, adiposity and its associated metabolic disturbances, to arterial distensibility (a marker of early arterial disease) in 13to 15-year-olds, some of whom had previously been studied at ages 9 to 11 years. Methods and Resul...
متن کاملPeripheral arterial volume distensibility
A new arterial distensibility measurement technique was assessed in 100 healthy normotensive subjects. Arterial transmural pressures on the whole right arm were reduced with a 50 cm long cuff inflated to 10, 20, 30 and 40 mmHg. The electrocardiogram, and finger and ear photoplethysmograms were recorded simultaneously. Arm pulse propagation time, pulse wave velocity (PWV) and arterial volume dis...
متن کاملArterial distensibility in normal and hypertensive man.
1. The pulse-wave velocity along the brachial radial artery was measured in 38 subjects and volume distensibility values were calculated. 2. Measurements made at each subject's resting blood pressure showed that those with high blood pressure had higher pulse-wave velocity values and hence less distensible arteries. 3. An acute rise in arterial distending pressure was accompanied by a rise in p...
