Background The prognostic importance of changes in aortic stiffness for the occurrence of
adverse cardiovascular outcomes and mortality has never been investigated in patients with …

OBJECTIVE The prognostic importance of carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), the
gold standard measure of aortic stiffness, has been scarcely investigated in type 2 diabetes …

OBJECTIVE The correlates of serial changes in aortic stiffness in patients with diabetes have
never been investigated. We aimed to examine the importance of glycemic control on …

Background Arterial stiffness is a potential biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk
in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, its relation with other CV risk evaluation …

Increased aortic stiffness has been recognized as a predictor of adverse cardiovascular
outcomes in some clinical conditions, such as in patients with arterial hypertension and end …

Diabetes complications increase with disease duration. No study was performed on the
relationship between aortic stiffness and diabetes duration, taking into account the …

Individuals with type 2 diabetes have a three-to fivefold increased risk of developing heart
failure. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is typified by left ventricular (LV) concentric remodeling …

Objective: Damage to large arteries is a major contributor to high cardiovascular morbi-
mortality in type 2 diabetic patients. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), depending on both structural …

Background Estimated pulse wave velocity (ePWV) has been proposed as a potential
alternative to carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity to assess the degree of aortic stiffness, and …

Objective Several studies have shown that arterial stiffness and ventricular dysfunction are
increased in individuals with type 2 diabetes. Aortic stiffness (AS) reflects the mechanical …
