Abstract Purpose of Review To describe the physiological aspects of blood pressure and
arterial stiffness, as well as explain how these processes are related. To review the available …

Aims: To synthesize and evaluate the available scientific evidence on the efficacy of
antihypertensive drugs on arterial stiffness in patients with hypertension by using a network …

Adults with metabolic syndrome (MetS) have increased fasting arterial stiffness and altered
central hemodynamics that contribute, partly, to increased cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Objective Evaluate the longitudinal association between BP control and the use of
antihypertensive classes with arterial stiffness (AS) in Brazilian adults. Methods This study …

Arterial stiffness measured by pulse wave velocity and pulse wave analysis has been widely
studied in different populations in terms of its correlation with cardiovascular events and all …

Background and aims Dyslipidemia is known to contribute to arterial stiffness, while the
inverse association remains unknown. This study aimed to explore the association of …

Hypertension in adolescents is associated with adverse cardiac and vascular events. In
addition to lowering blood pressure, it is not clear whether pharmacological therapy in early …

Aims To investigate the effect of losartan on preventing bladder fibrosis and protecting renal
function in rats with neurogenic paralysis bladder (NPB). Materials and Methods Rats were …

Prediabetes raises cardiovascular disease risk, in part through elevated aortic waveforms.
While insulin is a vasodilatory hormone, the gut hormone relation to aortic waveforms is less …

Introduction: Pulse wave velocity is used to diagnose central arterial stiffness (CAS) and
quantify healthy vascular aging (HVA). Objective: To evaluate the CAS and HVA in elderly …
