Endothelial function, assessed using brachial artery flow-mediated dilation (FMD), predicts
future cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. This study established age-and sex-specific …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) have a lower prevalence in women than men; although, a
higher mortality rate and a poorer prognosis are more common in women. However, there is …

Cardiovascular events are the consequence of vascular damage at both the macro and
microcirculatory level. The relationship between large stiffening artery and microvascular …

Introduction Arterial hypertension represents the leading modifiable risk factor for all-cause
death and early development of cardiovascular disease in women. Current clinical …

Blood pressure and vascular ageing trajectories differ between men and women. These
differences develop due to sex-related factors, attributable to sex chromosomes or sex …

Aims The relationship between resistance artery remodelling and endothelial function
remains unknown. In this study, we assessed (i) the capacity of endothelial function and …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is still the leading cause of illness and death in the Western
