Pulse pressure, arterial stiffness, and drug treatment of hypertension.
Epidemiological studies in the past decade have stressed the importance of pulse pressure as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. We briefly review the epidemiological evidence and discuss in more detail the pathophysiological basis for this observation and the therapeutic consequences. We focus on the vascular determinants of increased pulse pressure. Both lon...
متن کاملDairy consumption and hypertension: arterial stiffness and pulse pressure.
Dairy Consumption and Hypertension: Arterial Stiffness and Pulse Pressure To the Editor: We read with interest the meta-analysis of dairy consumption and hypertension by Soedamah-Muthu et al1 in the November 2012 issue of Hypertension. Using a stringent set of exclusionary criteria, a literature consisting of 1709 unique prospective studies of dairy and milk consumption was reduced to 9 studies...
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 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 کاملEffect of smoking on arterial stiffness and pulse pressure amplification.
The brachial artery pressure waveform is abnormal in smokers, but the effect of smoking on the aortic pressure waveform in both smokers and nonsmokers, particularly in the younger population, is unknown. We compared the acute and chronic effects of smoking on large-artery properties in 185 healthy young smokers and nonsmokers (mean+/-SD, 22+/-5 years). We matched 41 chronic smokers for age, hei...
