Increased arterial stiffness is closely associated with hyperglycemia and improved by glycemic control in diabetic patients
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Although arteriosclerotic diseases have been reported to be frequently complicated by diabetes mellitus (DM), a detailed relationship between hyperglycemia and arterial stiffness has not been fully clarified. We investigated the influence of hyperglycemia on arterial stiffness using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which is a new method for estimating arterial stiffness...
متن کاملSerum Mimecan Is Associated With Arterial Stiffness in Hypertensive Patients
BACKGROUND Mimecan plays an important role in endothelial and vascular smooth muscle cell integrity and may be involved the pathology of arterial stiffness. However, the role of mimecan in arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension is not well defined. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 116 hypertension patients and 54 healthy controls were enrolled in the investigation. Hypertensive patien...
متن کاملLung Function Is Associated with Arterial Stiffness in Children
BACKGROUND In older adults, an independent association exists between impaired lung function and cardiovascular disease. This interaction might be related to the effects of aging and/or smoking. In order to explore possible childhood antecedents to this association, we hypothesized that decreased lung function and vascular stiffness might be related, in early life. OBJECTIVE To determine the ...
متن کاملInterleukin-12 is associated with arterial stiffness in healthy individuals.
BACKGROUND Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a chronic inflammatory disease mediated by the proinflammatory cytokines interleukin-12 (IL-12) and interleukin-18 (IL-18). Evidence suggests that IL-12 is dominant in early atherosclerosis, while IL-18 is critical in advanced atherosclerosis. In this study, we explore the association between IL-12 and IL-18 and arterial stiffness in he...
متن کاملOsteopontin is associated with increased arterial stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are characterized by increased arterial stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. It has been suggested that osteopontin (OPN), a cytokine involved in RA pathogenesis, might have vascular effects. To study a possible relationship between OPN and arterial stiffness, aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) was measured by tonometry in 69 patients (41 ...
