Increased arterial stiffness, as estimated from aortic pulse wave velocity (Ao-PWV), and
albuminuria are independent predictors for cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetes …

Angiotensin II plays a key role in the development of vascular disease. We examined the
long-term effects of selective angiotensin II receptor (ATR) blockade with valsartan on …

Arterial wall stiffness, an important independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in
patients with hypertension, is worsened by the coexistence of diabetes mellitus. This …

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is known to cause increased arterial wall stiffness and
increased cardiovascular risk, even in the absence of hypertension. This study was …

Abstract Development of microalbuminuria increases the risk for cardiovascular disease
(CVD) in type 2 diabetes. The nature of this relationship is unclear but may involve arterial …

Aims Aortic systolic blood pressure has been shown to be augmented in Type 1 diabetes,
indicative of more rapid pulse wave reflection due to increased arterial stiffness. This …

OBJECTIVE In patients with type 1 diabetes, we investigated the association between
arterial stiffness and diabetes complications. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This …

Objectives: We sought to evaluate the role of arterial stiffness on blood pressure (BP)
response to drug treatment. Background: Increased arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity …

Arterial wall stiffness is an important independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease in
hypertensive patients, which is further exacerbated by co-existent diabetes mellitus …

Lowering elevated blood pressure (BP) in diabetic hypertensive individuals decreases
cardiovascular events. We questioned whether remodeling of resistance arteries from …
