The great incidence of cardiovascular (CV) diseases in the world spurs the search for new
solutions to enable an early detection of pathological processes and provides more precise …

The opinion on the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of preeclampsia still divides
scientists and clinicians. This common complication of pregnancy has long been viewed as …

Background The importance of measuring aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao), aortic
augmentation index (Aix) and central systolic blood pressure (SBPao) has been shown …

Objectives Recently, a novel method to estimate aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV)
noninvasively from an oscillometric single brachial cuff waveform reading has been …

Objectives European Society of Hypertension guidelines recommend use of carotid–femoral
pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) as a favored measure of aortic stiffness. However, there is no …

Objective: In adults with arterial hypertension, measuring arterial stiffness by pulse wave
velocity (PWV) can determine the extent of cardiovascular subclinical organ damage. PWV …

Abstract Purpose of Review To update and review novel insights into the mechanisms,
measurements, and therapeutic approaches to arterial stiffness. Recent Findings Arterial …

Aortic stiffness, an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality, can
be estimated non-invasively by measuring carotid to femoral (aortic) pulse wave velocity …

Conventionally, the assessments of endothelial function and arterial stiffness require
different sets of equipment, making the inclusion of both tests impractical for clinical and …

Background Increased arterial stiffness and vascular calcification have been recognized as
important predictors of cardiovascular mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease …
