Increased arterial stiffness (AS) is an important indicator for atherosclerotic cardiovascular
disease (ACVD). Epidemiologically, periodontitis and ACVD are associated. Therefore, we …

Purpose: To demonstrate feasibility of using MR elastography (MRE) to identify hypertensive
changes in the abdominal aorta when compared with normotensives based on the stiffness …

Increased arterial stiffness, as measured by pulse wave velocity, is increasingly recognised
as an important predictor of future cardiovascular events. At present, the mechanisms …

Aims Vascular ageing is characterized by arterial stiffening, dilation, and arterial wall
thickening. We investigated the extent to which these changes are related and their …

Objectives: Ethnic minority groups in the UK experience marked differences in
cardiovascular disease risk. We investigated differences in arterial central haemodynamics …

Physiologisch ist jede Druckänderung in einer Arterie mit korrespondierenden Änderungen
der Wandspannung und damit Änderungen der lokalen und regionalen Elastizität …

Objectives The objective of this study was to evaluate associations between aortic pulse
wave velocity (PWV) and aortic and carotid vessel wall thickness (VWT) using …

The words above by Jonathan Swift could be used to summarize the focus of this
supplement, since they apply to many modern attitudes towards the aging process. Although …

Introduction Aortic calcification as detected by computed tomography is associated with
arterial stiffening and is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality …

Cardiovascular diseases remain a predominant global cause of mortality, with a noteworthy
rise in the risk of morbidity with advancing age. Besides, it accompanied by a phenomenon …
