Background Patients with degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) are often older and have
systemic hypertension and atherosclerosis, which all lead to increased aortic stiffness. We …

Background: Aortic stiffness is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events and
mortality. The measurement of pulse‐wave velocity (PWV) is the most simple, noninvasive …

Background In aortic stenosis (AS), the combination of risk factors can progressively lead to
an increased arterial rigidity, which can be evaluated by the carotid artery and aortic stiffness …

Aims In aortic stenosis (AS), both reduced systemic arterial compliance and increased
valvular load have been shown to contribute to impaired left ventricular (LV) function …

Introduction Aortic stenosis (AS) is more than only a degenerative disease, it could be also
an atherosclerotic-like process involving the valve instead of the vessels. Little is known …

Sonuç: Bulgularımız koroner arterlerde ciddi darlık bulunmasının anlamlı derecede yüksek
AS ile ilişkili olduğunu, başarılı PKG'nin de AS'yi bir dereceye kadar düzelttiğini …

Objective: Aortic stiffness assessed by carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an
important predictor to gauge the overall risk of hypertensive patients; nonetheless, it is …

Aortic stiffness is a hallmark of aging, and classic cardiovascular risk factors play a role in
accelerating this process. Current changes in medicine, which focus on preventive care …

Aortic stiffness (AoS) is a maladaptive response to hemodynamic stress and both modifiable
and non-modifiable risk factors, and elevated AoS increases afterload for the heart. AoS is a …

Background Global longitudinal strain (GLS) and basal longitudinal strain (BLS) assessed
using two-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging have been proposed as subtle markers of …
