Polymorphisms of inflammatory markers/mediators and arterial stiffness.
Letters to the Editor will be published, if suitable, as space permits. They should not exceed 1000 words (typed double-spaced) in length and may be subject to editing or abridgment. To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Schumacher et al, 1 which sheds new light into the still-controversial issue of the contribution of C-reactive protein (CRP) in the pathogenesis of cardio-vascula...
متن کاملAssociation of Inflammatory Gene Polymorphisms and Conventional Risk Factors With Arterial Stiffness by Age
BACKGROUND Inflammatory gene polymorphisms are potentially associated with atherosclerosis risk, but their age-related effects are unclear. To investigate the age-related effects of inflammatory gene polymorphisms on arterial stiffness, we conducted cross-sectional and 5-year follow-up studies using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a surrogate marker of arterial stiffness. METHODS We...
متن کاملArterial stiffness in chronic inflammatory diseases.
Chronic inflammatory diseases are associated with premature atherosclerosis; however, it is unknown whether arterial stiffness is increased in this setting, possibly as a manifestation of vascular disease preceding and/or independent of atherosclerosis. Carotid ultrasonography and radial applanation tonometry were performed in 101 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, 80 patients with rhe...
متن کاملGenetic variants of inflammatory markers and arterial stiffness.
Atherosclerotic disease is a primary cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This disease is generally undiagnosed before the onset of symptoms or complications. Experimental and clinical evidence indicate that inflammation is central to the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.1 Therefore, vascular inflammation may serve as a potential marker of the disease process itself. Al...
متن کاملArterial Stiffness and Arterial Aging
The process of population ageing that is occurring in developed societies represents a major challenge for the health system. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in the world, representing half of the deaths in people over 65 years old. Among the CVD, systemic arterial hypertension is related to more than half of those outcomes [1]. The non-modifia...
