Vascular assessment is becoming increasingly important in the diagnosis of cardiovascular
diseases. In particular, clinical assessment of arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave …

Abstract BACKGROUND Carotid-femoral PWV (cfPWV) is a well-established measure of
central arterial stiffness, while brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) is being used more frequently in …

Atherosclerotic complications have a significant effect on mortality in patients undergoing
hemodialysis (HD) therapy. However, anti‐atherosclerotic and cardioprotective effects of on …

Objective The American Diabetes Association (ADA) recently published new clinical
guidelines in which hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) was recommended as a diagnostic test for …

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity ((cf) PWV) is a measure of arterial stiffness, predicting
cardiovascular disease. We hypothesized that the amount of physical activity (PA) is …

In this issue of Angiology, Ticulescu et al1 assess the role of arterial stiffness in relation to
established risk factors in predicting cardiovascular (CV) remodeling. They assessed left …

1969 年, Rahbar 在其研究中发现, 快速泳动血红蛋白(Hb) 实际上与糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)
的结构相同, 且在糖尿病(DM) 患者中其浓度会增加2~ 3 倍[1]. 至此, 人们确立了DM 与HbA1c …

Background Increased arterial stiffness predicts morbidity and mortality, independently of
other cardiovascular risk factors, and glycemic control impairments are related to higher …

Increased aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of death from cardiovascular disease
in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Various factors that contribute to carotid …

Objective Successful simultaneous pancreas‐kidney transplantation (SPK) in Type 1
diabetic (T1DM) patients results in improved cardiovascular outcome and survival. However …
