Arterial stiffness, systolic blood pressure, and logical treatment of arterial hypertension.
Arterial stiffening is the principal cause of increasing systolic pressure with advancing years and in patients with arterial hypertension. It is associated with progressive arterial dilation and is due to degeneration of the arterial wall, probably as a consequence of repetitive cyclic stress; it increases systolic pressure directly by increasing amplitude of the pressure wave generated by a g...
متن کاملEuropean Society of Hypertension Scientific Newsletter: Update on Hypertension Management
Carotid distensibility Arterial stiffness and wave reflection are now well-accepted as the most important determinants of increasing systolic and pulse pressures in ageing societies, thus promoting a major contribution to stroke and myocardial infarction. A major reason for measuring arterial stiffness and central pulse pressure (PP) in hypertensive patients comes from the demonstration that ar...
متن کاملChanges in arterial stiffness and wave reflection with advancing age in healthy men and women: the Framingham Heart Study.
With advancing age, arterial stiffness and wave reflections increase and elevate systolic and pulse pressures. An elevated central pulse pressure is generally ascribed to increased wave reflection and portends an unfavorable prognosis. Using arterial tonometry, we evaluated central (carotid-femoral) and peripheral (carotid-brachial) pulse wave velocity, amplitudes of forward and reflected press...
متن کاملArterial 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...
متن کاملImpact of smoking and smoking cessation on arterial stiffness and aortic wave reflection in hypertension.
Cigarette smoking is an important modifiable cardiovascular risk factor and pathophysiological mechanisms may include a stiff vascular tree. Although smokers have stiffer arteries, whether smoking cessation is associated with reduced arterial stiffness is not known. We compared never-treated patients with essential hypertension (n=554) aged 18 to 80 years (56% females) classified as current smo...
