Arterial Stiffness in a Rural Population of Argentina: Pilot Study
(Springer, 2015-12)
Introduction: Aortic stiffness evaluated through pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement is nowadays accepted as a reliable parameter to estimate cardiovascular risk. However the data about arterial stiffness in South America ...
Potent Antiretroviral Therapy for Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Increases Aortic Stiffness
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIARIO DE JANEIRO, 2012)
Background: Highly active antiretroviral therapy for AIDS is known to increase cardiovascular risk, but the effects of potent antiretroviral agents according to gender are unknown. Objective: The present study evaluated ...
Aortic length measurements for pulse wave velocity calculation: manual 2D vs automated 3D centreline extraction
(2017)
Abstract
Background
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a biomarker for the intrinsic stiffness of the aortic wall, and has been shown to be predictive for cardiovascular events. ...
Impact of arterial cross-clamping during vascular surgery on arterial stiffness measured by the augmentation index and fractal dimension of arterial pressure
(Springer, 2016-11)
Arterial cross-clamping is a common strategy used in vascular surgery and its duration is an independent predictor of surgical outcomes. The impact of arterial cross-clamping on the viscoelastic properties of the arterial ...
Immediate effects of submaximal effort on pulse wave velocity in patients with Marfan syndrome
(Associação Brasileira de Divulgação Científica, 2010-04-01)
Marfan syndrome (MS) is a dominant autosomal disease caused by mutations in chromosome 15, the locus controlling fibrillin 1 synthesis, and may exhibit skeletal, ocular, cardiovascular, and other manifestations. Pulse wave ...
Associação entre o condicionamento físico e rigidez arterial em pacientes com doença renal crônica
(Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP), 2014)
Morphologic and biomechanical changes of thoracic and abdominal aorta in a rat model of cigarette smoke exposure
(2013-08-01)
Background: Smoking is the most relevant environmental factor that affects the development of aortic aneurysm. Smokers have elevated levels of elastase activity in the arterial wall, which leads to weakening of the aorta. ...

Terapia antirretroviral altamente eficaz para infecção pelo vírus da imunodeficiência humana aumenta a rigidez aórticaPotent antiretroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus infection increases aortic stiffness
(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia - SBC, 2012)
FUNDAMENTO: Sabe-se que a terapia antirretroviral altamente potente para Aids reconhecida aumenta o risco cardiovascular, mas os efeitos dos agentes antirretrovirais de acordo com o gênero ainda são desconhecidos. OBJETIVO: ...
The effects of age on pulse wave velocity in untreated hypertension
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2018-02)
Increased arterial stiffness is an important determinant of cardiovascular risk, able to predict morbidity and mortality, and closely associated with ageing and blood pressure. The aims of this study were: (1) To determine ...
