Background Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an excellent index of arterial stiffness and can be
used to predict long-term cardiovascular (CV) outcome. In recent years, estimated PWV …

Arterial stiffness contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However,
the relationship between the arterial stiffness and exercise tolerance in CVD patients with …

Background Little is known about the effect of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on carotid arterial
stiffness (CAS) in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Patients and Methods …

Background: Patients after myocardial infarction have impaired vascular function. However,
effects of lifestyle, eg, physical activity level, on endothelial function and arterial stiffness …

Background Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) are characterized by different
levels of physical capacity, which depends not only on the anatomical advancement of …

Large artery stiffening is widely believed to be the primary driver of isolated systolic
hypertension and is recognised as a major cardiovascular risk factor [1]. Since arterial …

Background: The number of patients with heart failure (HF) has increased, and it is crucial to
prevent the development of HF in patients at risk of HF. The present study aimed to risk …

Objectives Hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) is related to the development of future
hypertension, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality, independent of resting blood …

Objectives. To examine the acute effect of a maximal aerobic exercise effort on aortic,
peripheral arterial stiffness and cardiovagal modulation of trained and untrained patients …

Objective: Exercise capacity is often reduced after heart transplantation. We aimed to
investigate the association between aortic stiffness and exercise capacity after heart …
