Pathophysiological studies have extensively investigated the structural factor in
hypertension, including large and small artery remodeling and functional changes. Here, we …

Arterial stiffening occurs with age and is closely associated with the progression of
cardiovascular disease. Stiffening is most often studied at the level of the whole vessel …

Background: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is underdiagnosed and an
important cause of myocardial infarction (MI), especially in young women. Long-term …

Arterial stiffness is a growing epidemic associated with increased risk of cardiovascular
events, dementia, and death. Decreased compliance of the central vasculature alters arterial …

With advancing age, arterial stiffness and wave reflections increase and elevate systolic and
pulse pressures. An elevated central pulse pressure is generally ascribed to increased wave …

Tortuous arteries and veins are commonly observed in humans and animals. While mild
tortuosity is asymptomatic, severe tortuosity can lead to ischemic attack in distal organs …

In the natural habitat of our ancestors, physical activity was not a preventive intervention but
a matter of survival. In this hostile environment with scarce food and ubiquitous dangers …

Investigation of arterial stiffness, especially of the large arteries, has gathered pace in recent
years with the development of readily available noninvasive assessment techniques. These …

Aortic disease is a significant cause of death in developed countries. The most common
forms of aortic disease are aneurysm, dissection, atherosclerotic occlusion and ageing …

The goal of this study was to review the origin, clinical relevance and treatment of pulse
pressure (PP). Elevated PP is increasingly being recognized as a risk factor for …
