In this paper, we briefly revise some of the most widely applied methods to non-invasively assess pressure wave reflection (augmentation index) and arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity; PWV) in clinical vas...
Arterial stiffness and excessive pressure pulsatility have emerged as important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Arterial stiffness increases with age and in the presence of traditional cardiovascular ...
We examined several measures of ventricular—vascular load as they relate to ECG-derived measures of left ventricular (LV) morphology in a cross-section of 19 young African American and 19 white men.
In vivo measurements of wall shear stress (WSS), a determinant of endothelial cell function and gene expression, have shown that theoretical assumptions regarding WSS in the arterial system and its calculation ar...
With the help of both clinical and genetic diagnostic tools, the spectrum of inherited disorders affecting the arterial system has extended tremendously over the past decades. Discriminating these different en...
Central blood pressure is increasingly considered to be more predictive of cardiovascular events than peripheral pressure. Central systolic pressure (cSBP) can be estimated from the late systolic shoulder (pSBP2)...
African Americans are more susceptible to develop insulin resistance, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and coronary heart disease (CHD), and systemic inflammation is central to the pathophysiology of these chronic di...
Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in hypertensive populations and is in part a heritable trait. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMPs) plays an important role in vascular remoldi...
Venous grafts commonly develop myointimal hyperplasia, which can lead to stenoses and, ultimately, with expression of adhesion molecules, lumenal occlusion. The aim of the present study was to investigate whet...
Measurement of pulse wave velocity is of increasing importance for assessment of arterial stiffness and risk evaluation. Different techniques are available, based either on pressure, distension or Doppler wave...
Arterial stiffness increases with age and has been found to predict cardiovascular disease. C-reactive protein (CRP) is an inflammation marker and has been found to be associated with arterial stiffness and ri...
Between the ages of 45 and 65 years, the prevalence of cardiovascular disease is significantly lower in women compared with men. Circulating bone marrow-derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) play an impo...
The inhibition of the vitamin K cycle by warfarin promotes arterial calcification in the rat. Conceivably, genetically determined vitamin K deficiency owing to a mutant epoxide reductase subcomponent 1 (Vkorc1) g...
Numerous studies in healthy individuals with normal office blood pressure (BP) have shown that a hypertensive response to exercise predicts the future onset of hypertension, as well as cardiovascular morbidity...
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been considered as a clinical manifestation of a generalized arterial disease. Aortic stiffness and wave reflections are early markers of vascular changes associated with metaboli...
The relationship between carotid pathology and risk factors (RF) in hypertensive patients for cerebrovascular disease (CVD).
Different BP patterns have been identified by the use of office and 24 hours BP measurement: sustained normotension (NT), isolated office hypertension (IOH), isolated ambulatory hypertension (IAH) and hyperten...
It is well known that smoking and obesity are cardiovascular risk factors. However, many smokers fear to stop, thinking that following increase in weight will counterbalance the positive effect of smoking cess...
Hypertension is associated with increased arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness, which is a predictor of cardiovascular risk, has been shown to correlate with diastolic dysfunction of left ventricle in hypert...
A hypertensive response to exercise (HRE; defined as normal clinic blood pressure [BP] and exercise BP >210/105mmHg in men or >190/ 105mmHg in women) independently predicts incident hypertension and cardiovasc...
To present a concept of human-specific gravitational damage of vascular system.
Hyperinsulinemia worsens brachial artery endothelial function in healthy subjects, while in vitro and in vivo (in other vascular districts) evidence show that insulin facilitates nitric oxide release and endot...
Shear stress (SS) is associated with the formation of localised atherosclerosis. Due to the complexities of flow accurate determination of shear stress is difficult. Whilst 2D methods of deriving SS are widely...
The arterial waveform in young adults is ascribed to the combination of a forward wave from the ventricle and a reflection arriving at the aortic root in diastole. With ageing, the reflected wave is proposed t...
Despite successful surgical repair, post-coarctectomy patients suffer from early onset cardiovascular disease (CVD). Enhanced pressure wave reflections and increased arterial stiffness have been proposed to ex...
Aortic stiffness and proteinuria are cardiovascular risk factors. In several populations an association has been described between these factors. However, age is a strong determinant for both risk factors comp...
To assess the determinants of central pulse pressure (CPP) in end stage renal disease (ESRD), with special focus on respective roles of wave reflection, aortic stiffness and geometry (diameter) compared with c...

Patients with pediatric Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (pSLE) are at increased risk of premature atherosclerosis irrespective of exposure to traditional cardiovascular risk factors. The goals of this study were ...
Epidemiologic studies have clearly identified modifications of fetal environment as a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular diseases in adulthood.
Arterial stiffness is a predictor of atherosclerosis. This study was conducted to develop a method of coronary atherosclerosis severity assessment by means of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). MATERI...
Local Pulse Wave Velocity (LPWV) and Wave Intensity (WI) are used to assess arterial stiffness and the arrival time of reflected waves; indices of clinical importance. We present a new non-invasive analysis wh...
Echotracking (ET) devices were developed to determine elastic properties of arterial wall material with high precision. The radiofrequency provides a higher precision than with B-mode image systems, limited by...
MRI provides a non-invasive method for assessing segmental aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV). However, the best mathematical algorithm for transit time calculation using MRI flow waves is unclear.
Twenty four hour ambulatory blood pressure (24ABPM) is the gold standard for assessing blood pressure (BP) control. However, central BP during daily activity may be a stronger determinant of cardiovascular ris...
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been associated with both systemic inflammation and generalized vascular disease. Monocyte count (MNC) represents a sensitive marker of inflammatory activity in atherosclerosis. W...
Adducin is a membrane skeleton protein, which consists either of α- and ß- or α- and γ-subunits. We investigated whether arterial characteristics might be related to the genes encoding ADD1 (Gly460Trp), ADD2 (C17...
The purpose of the present study is to investigate whether subjects with stiff arteries have an increased risk of heart failure.
