serum uric acid level and diverse impacts on regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection

Serum Uric Acid Level and Diverse Impacts on Regional Arterial Stiffness and Wave Reflection

BACKGROUND Both increased arterial stiffness and hyperuricaemia are associated with elevated cardiovascular risks. Little is known about the relations of serum uric acid (UA) level to regional arterial stiffness and wave reflection. The aim of the study was to investigate the gender-specific association of serum UA and indices of arterial function in a community-based investigation in China. ...

Longitudinal Association Between Serum Uric Acid and Arterial Stiffness

Arterial stiffness and central arterial wave reflection are associated with serum uric acid, total bilirubin, and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio in patients with coronary artery disease

OBJECTIVE Total bilirubin (TB) was recently recognized as an endogenous anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant molecule. Uric acid (UA) takes part in cardiovascular diseases by inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and endothelial dysfunction. We assessed the relationship between serum TB levels, serum UA levels, and inflammatory status assessed by neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (N/L) and arteri...

Arterial Stiffness Arterial Stiffness and Wave Reflection Sex Differences and Relationship With Left Ventricular Diastolic Function

Increased arterial stiffness and wave reflection have been reported in heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF) and in asymptomatic left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction, a precursor of HFNEF. It is unclear whether women, who have higher frequency of HFNEF, are more vulnerable than men to the deleterious effects of arterial stiffness on LV diastolic function. We investigated, i...

The Impacts of Serum Uric Acid on arterial hemodynamics and Cardiovascular Risks.

UNLABELLED Hyperuricemia, and its clinical manifestation gout, is a metabolic disease process that has been recognized since the dawn of medical inquiry. Uric acid was hypothesized to be a mediator of cardiovascular disease for period of time. Epidemiological correlations of hyperuricemia with hypertension and cardiovascular events were evident for two centuries' studies. With recent animal stu...

Relationship Between Serum Uric Acid Levels, Metabolic Syndrome, and Arterial Stiffness in Korean

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Associations have been reported between the serum uric acid (SUA) level, metabolic syndrome (MS), and atherosclerosis. We have determined the relationship between the SUA level, MS, and arterial stiffness in Korean. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Cross-sectional data from 1,276 adults who underwent routine laboratory tests and pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements during a he...
