Large artery stiffness and baroreflex function.
To the Editor: We read with interest the recent article by Monahan et al1 that examined the relationship between carotid arterial compliance and baroreflex sensitivity in the context of aging and fitness. The authors demonstrate that age-related carotid artery stiffening is associated with a smaller carotid diameter change in response to a given increase in systolic blood pressure. Thus, barore...
متن کاملCentral Artery Stiffness in Hypertension and Aging
Systemic hypertension is a risk factor for many diseases affecting the heart, brain, and kidneys. It has long been thought that hypertension leads to a thickening and stiffening of central arteries (ie, stiffness is a consequence), whereas more recent evidence suggests that stiffening precedes hypertension (ie, stiffness is a cause). We submit, however, that consideration of the wall biomechani...
متن کاملArterial stiffness and coronary artery disease.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The current traditional risk scores are not sufficient to predict the full incidence of cardiovascular disease. In this brief review, we discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms through which arterial stiffness affects cardiac function and the additive value of markers of arterial stiffness, to detect the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and predict adverse outcome i...
متن کاملB-type natriuretic peptide and artery stiffness.
A rteries stiffen with age, largely as a consequence of structural alteration of the collagen and elastin content of the artery wall. Circulating B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), secreted predominantly from the heart, also increases with age, probably as a consequence of left ventricular wall stress induced by a rise in impedance to ejection or structural changes in the myocardium including ag...
متن کاملHeart Rate Dependency of Large Artery Stiffness.
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) quantifies large artery stiffness, it is used in hemodynamic research and is considered a useful cardiovascular clinical marker. cfPWV is blood pressure (BP) dependent. Intrinsic heart rate (HR) dependency of cfPWV is unknown because increasing HR is commonly accompanied by increasing BP. This study aims to quantify cfPWV dependency on acute, sympatho...
