Hypertension prevalence increases with age. Age and high blood pressure are the two main
determinants of arterial stiffness. In elderly hypertensives, large arteries stiffen and systolic …

Despite the wide recognition of larger artery stiffness as a highly clinically relevant and
independent prognostic biomarker, it has yet be incorporated into routine clinical practice …

A hipertensão arterial (HA) é uma doença crônica não transmissível (DCNT) definida por
níveis pressóricos, em que os benefícios do tratamento (não medicamentoso e/ou …

Objective: Carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered the gold standard for
arterial stiffness assessment in clinical practice. A large number of devices to measure PWV …

Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) is directly related to arterial stiffness. Different methods for
the determination of PWV coexist. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the …

Background Empagliflozin has been shown to reduce cardiovascular mortality, but the
underlying pathogenetic mechanisms are poorly understood. It was previously …

Objective: In adults with arterial hypertension, measuring arterial stiffness by pulse wave
velocity (PWV) can determine the extent of cardiovascular subclinical organ damage. PWV …

Arterial stiffness and augmentation of aortic blood pressure (BP) measured in office are
known cardiovascular risk factors in hemodialysis patients. This study examines the …
