Abstract Purpose of Review To update and review novel insights into the mechanisms,
measurements, and therapeutic approaches to arterial stiffness. Recent Findings Arterial …

Arterial stiffness is increasingly recognized as an impor-tant prognostic index and potential
therapeutic target in patients with hypertension. It is closely linked to, but by no means …

Arterial stiffness and hypertension are closely related in pathophysiology. Chronic high
blood pressure (BP) can lead to arterial wall damage by mechanical stress, endothelial …

In patients with uncomplicated essential hypertension, cardiac output remains within normal
ranges and intravascular volume is normal or low, assuming the presence of a sufficient …

Arterial hypertension is one of the traditional risk factors involved in the development of
cardiovascular events, while arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular …

Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or
structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the …

Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality
in patients with hypertension, as well as a potential therapeutic target. There is increasing …

Arterial stiffness of the large, elastic conduit arteries is considered a risk marker of vascular
aging, as well as a new biomarker of cardiovascular (CV) disease. Arterial stiffness also …

Arterial stiffness has been known as a sign of cardiovascular risk since the 19th century.
Despite this, accurate measurement and clinical utility have only emerged in recent times …

Background: Arterial stiffness measures such as pulse wave velocity (PWV) have a known
dependence on actual blood pressure, requiring consideration in cardiovascular risk …
