Increased arterial stiffness is associated with higher levels of aortic wave reflection and
aortic blood pressure. Recent evidence suggests a link between muscle sympathetic nerve …

We hypothesized that atorvastatin (ATOR) treatment would reduce arterial stiffness in
overweight and obese middle-aged and older adults. Twenty-six (11 men and 15 women) …

Background Effects of short‐term interventions on large‐artery stiffness assessed by pulse
wave velocity (PWV) have mainly been explained by concomitant changes in blood …

The sympathetic nervous system represents a fundamental homeostatic system that exerts
considerable control over blood pressure and the distribution of blood flow. This process has …

Background and aims Heated tobacco products (HTPs) are novel alternative tobacco
products being promoted as an alternative to cigarettes. To evaluate the impact of HTP use …

Reduction of large artery distensibility has several adverse consequences for the
cardiovascular system. This paper reviews the evidence obtained by measuring …

In rats, an increase in heart rate by pacing is accompanied by progressive large-artery
stiffening. Whether this is also the case in humans is unknown. We enrolled 20 patients who …

Aims: Enhanced vascular ageing is associated with elevated central pulse pressure (cPP),
an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) events. Although antihypertensive …
