Gender Differences of Arterial Stiffness and Arterial Age in Smokers
The present study aimed to find gender differences for arterial stiffness and arterial aging in smokers. A total of 147 smokers (71 male and 76 female, matched for age) were explored using an Arteriograph in a cross-sectional survey. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), arterial age (AA), brachial and aortic augmentation index (AixBrach, AixAo), and blood pressure variables were assessed. Data about smok...
متن کاملIs arterial stiffness related to body height?
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. Experts 1 consider aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) as the supreme index of arterial stiffness, mainly because it is an independent predictor of cardiovascular complications. 2 However , the noninvasive assessment ...
متن کاملArterial stiffness: reflections on the arterial pulse.
Arteriosclerosis—arterial stiffening—is the basic cause of isolated systolic hypertension (ISH) and the present epidemic of heart failure in the elderly. Arteriosclerosis is equally important for the development of coronary events, stroke, dementia, and renal failure. The underlying pathology was described by Osler as ‘senile arteriosclerosis’ to distinguish it from essential hypertension (Osle...
متن کاملSex differences in arterial stiffness and ventricular-arterial interactions.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess sex differences in ventricular-arterial interactions. BACKGROUND Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction is more prevalent in women than in men, but the basis for this difference remains unclear. METHODS Echocardiography and arterial tonometry were performed to quantify arterial and ventricular stiffening and interaction in 461 participants with...
متن کاملArterial stiffness is related to systemic inflammation in essential hypertension.
The acute phase-reactant high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a marker of vascular inflammation and an atherosclerotic risk factor, is related to arterial stiffness in healthy subjects and in systemic vasculitis. To explore the relationship between markers of inflammation, interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein with arterial stiffn...
