Arteriosclerosis, as the foundation for the development of cardiovascular diseases, is
influenced by disturbances in lipid metabolism. Extensive research has consistently shown a …

Background and Objectives: Flexibility is one of the most important physical fitness
parameters in the geriatric population. Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) is a …

The aim of the study was to study the effect of arterial stiffness and multifocal atherosclerosis
on the 10-year prognosis of patients after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods. Patients …

Background and objective: Aortic stiffness can be evaluated by aortic distensibility or pulse
wave velocity (PWV) using applanation tonometry, 2D phase contrast (PC) MRI and the …

It is not clear whether the influence of arterial stiffness depends on the subject's
cardiovascular risk status. This study was performed to assess the prognostic value of …

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 …

Objective: The prognostic value of changes in arterial stiffness has not been well evaluated.
This study was conducted to investigate whether the change in arterial stiffness one month …

Background Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index
(CAVI) are indices of arterial stiffness, and several studies have used these indices …

Background: Although ankle-brachial index and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity
measurement are well-established modalities for assessing peripheral artery disease and …

Background: Myocardial infarction (MI) is increasing at a younger age. Growth differentiation
factor-15 (GDF-15) has been implicated in several key mechanisms of atherogenesis …
