The number of published articles on PubMed with arterial stiffness or aortic stiffness in the title during the past 20 years exceeds 4000 articles published, with more than one-half published in the past 5 years (see Figure). The studies published on the topic of arterial stiffness span the full translational continuum from basic mechanistic studies in cell and animal models to small experiment...

J Strength Cond Res 30(8): 2279-2285, 2016-Increased central arterial stiffness is as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Evidence regarding the effects of high-intensity resistance exercise on va...

Noninvasive measures of arterial function, such as intima-media thickness (IMT), endothelial function, and arterial stiffness are associated with and are prognostic of cardiovascular events in adults. Postmortem evidence, however, has established that the atherosclerotic process starts in childhood. Furthermore, cardiovascular morbidities in childhood disrupt arterial health and may lead to adv...
