The goal of this review is to provide further understanding of increased vascular stiffness
with aging, and how it contributes to the adverse effects of major human diseases …

Mitchell Arterial Stiffness and Hypertension 211 in PP that is associated with high incidence
of predominantly systolic hypertension in older people. One of the foregoing studies of …

Chronic kidney disease is defined by the presence of kidney damage or decreased kidney
function for at least three months, irrespective of the cause. 2 Kidney damage generally …

Aging of the vascular system is associated with deep changes of the structural proprieties of
the arterial wall. Arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and chronic kidney disease are the …

In men and women, there is a significant association between the risk of cardiovascular
event (myocardial infarction, stroke) and risk of major fragility fracture (hip, vertebra) …

Objective—Arterial hemodynamics and vascular calcification are associated with increased
risk for cardiovascular disease, but their inter-relations remain unclear. We sought to …

Arterial stiffness is established as an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and
mortality. The objective was to prospectively evaluate association of aortic calcification …

Objective—The relation between arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis, and specifically the
influence of arterial stiffness on plaque composition, is largely unknown. In a population …

Objective—Vascular calcification (VC) is an important predictor of cardiovascular morbidity
and mortality. Osteogenic differentiation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is a key …

Background Coronary and aortic artery calcifications are generally slow to develop, and
their burden predicts cardiovascular disease events. In patients with diabetes mellitus …
