The function of micro-and macrovessels within the peripheral vasculature has been
identified as a target for the investigation of potential cardiovascular-based promoters of …

Background. Stiffness of the central arteries in aging may contribute to cerebral
microvascular disease independent of hypertension and other vascular risk factors. Few …

Older patients present two major challenges to clinicians and researchers in the
hypertension and cardiovascular field: the first is represented by the need to focus not only …

Background To estimate the strength of the cross‐sectional and longitudinal association
between arterial stiffness, measured by pulse‐wave velocity, and cognitive function …

Age-related vascular alterations promote the pathogenesis of vascular cognitive impairment
(VCI). Cardiovascular risk factors that accelerate vascular aging exacerbate VCI. Metabolic …

Ageing-related changes in the vascular wall influence the function of different organs; for this
reason, we assessed how arterial stiffness measured by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity …

Background Cognitive decline significantly contributes to disability in older individuals. We
previously demonstrated cross-sectionally that arterial stiffness [pulse wave velocity (PWV)] …

Background: Vascular aging may cause cerebral microvascular damage and cognitive
dysfunction. There is incremental evidence that consistently implicates arterial stiffness …

Human aging is accompanied by both vascular and cognitive changes. Although arteries
throughout the body are known to become stiffer with age, this vessel hardening is believed …
