Arterial stiffness is a well-established indicator of cardiovascular disease outcome. Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a surrogate for arterial stiffness that is measured either globally using carotid-to-femoral applanation tonometry or locally using biomedical imaging methods. Pulse Wave Imaging (PWI) is an ultrasound-based method for both qualitative visualization of the pulse wave propagation and q...... hiện toàn bộ

Inflammation and large arteries: Potential mechanisms for inflammation-induced arterial stiffness Tập 6 - Trang 59-64 - 2012
Kaisa M. Mäki-Petäjä, Ian B. Wilkinson
Systemic inflammatory conditions are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). How exactly inflammation leads to this is not fully understood, but it has been suggested that arterial stiffening, could provide potential mechanisms to explain it. Chronic, systemic inflammatory conditions, as well as acute-models of inflammation are associated with arterial stiffening. Moreov...... hiện toàn bộ
