There is strong evidence that sex chromosomes and sex hormones influence blood
pressure (BP) regulation, distribution of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and co-morbidities …

Arterial stiffness progressively increases with aging and is an independent predictor of
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk. Evidence supports that there are sex differences in the …

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 …

Accumulating evidence points to the existence of an inflammatory‐metabolic phenotype of
heart failure with a preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which is characterized by …

Obesity is an emerging pandemic driven by consumption of a diet rich in fat and highly
refined carbohydrates (a Western diet) and a sedentary lifestyle in both children and adults …

Background: Carotid stiffening is considered a key element in the pathogenesis of stroke.
However, results of studies evaluating the association between carotid stiffness and incident …

Aims Women are more likely to develop heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(HFpEF) than men. We studied the relationship between sex and cardiovascular structure …

Hypertension (HTN) is a primary risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events, target organ
damage (TOD), premature death and disability worldwide. The pathophysiology of HTN is …

Epidemiological studies support the notion that arterial stiffness is an independent predictor
of adverse cardiovascular events contributing significantly to systolic hypertension, impaired …

The normal pulmonary circulation is a low-pressure, high-compliance system. Pulmonary
arterial compliance decreases in the presence of pulmonary hypertension because of …
