The world population is aging and the number of old people is continuously increasing.
Arterial structure and function change with age, progressively leading to arterial stiffening …

Since noninvasive central blood pressure (BP) measuring devices are readily available,
central BP has gained growing attention regarding its clinical application in the management …

Abstract Purpose of Review The regulation of blood pressure is conventionally
conceptualised into the product of “circulating blood volume” and “vasoconstriction …

Although recent guidelines recommend the combination of calcium channel blockers (CCB
s) and thiazide (‐like) diuretics, this combination is not widely used in clinical practice. The …

BACKGROUND New evidence suggests that central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and
augmentation index (AI) are superior predictors of adverse cardiovascular outcomes …

This critique is intended to provide background for the reader to evaluate the relative clinical
utilities of brachial cuff systolic blood pressure (SBP) and its derivatives, including pulse …

The vascular aging process In 2006, Dzau et al. presented the cardiovascular disease
(CVD) continuum, represented by successive events/stages of disease progression from the …

Some studies reported a protective role of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) against
arterial stiffness. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis of published clinical trials to …

Several cross-sectional trials have revealed increased arterial stiffness connected with the
cardiac autonomic neuropathy in types 2 and 1 diabetic patients. The pathophysiological …
