Frailty and cardiovascular disease share some of the pathophysiologic features. Our
objective was to review and metaanalyse the available published evidence on the topic. We …

Aortic stiffness increases markedly with age and is associated with excess risk for various
adverse clinical outcomes, including heart disease, dementia, and kidney disease. Although …

Background Frailty is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Underlying mechanisms
to explain the connection between frailty and CVD are unclear. We sought to examine the …

Purpose Frailty and atherosclerotic diseases are prevalent among the older people and
usually present the same pathogenesis and risk factors. Therefore, the aim of this study was …

Background: Arterial stiffness has been associated with aging, hypertension, and diabetes;
however, little data has been published examining risk factors associated with arterial …

Cardiovascular disease risk factors, including age, hypertension, and diabetes, contribute to
aortic stiffness and subclinical cardiovascular and brain disease, increasing dementia risk …

Objective Aortic stiffness can lead to low diastolic blood pressure, thereby possibly limiting
coronary perfusion. Therefore, the simultaneous occurrence of both aortic stiffness and …

Objective: There is an association between frailty and arterial stiffness. However, arterial
stiffness does not uniformly correlate with the spectrum of frailty states. Both oxidative stress …

Observational studies have shown that some of the classic CV risk factors, namely
hypertension or hypercholesterolemia, become nebulous, or even act in the reverse …

It has been demonstrated that aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular
disease. We investigated whether this measure is of use in cardiovascular risk stratification …
