Open AccessP1.1 Anti-Angiogenic Treatment in Cancer Patients Causes Arterial Dilation and Stiffening Beyond the Blood Pressure Effect
Anti-angiogenic treatment (AAT) prescribed in cancer patients often induces hypertension and is associated with increased pulse wave velocity (PWV). PWV is known to depend on blood pressure (BP). Therefore, we...

Open Access2.3 Local Stiffness of the Carotid Artery is Associated with Incident Cardiovascular Events and All-Cause Mortalitye—A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
It has been suggested that local carotid stiffness is independently associated with cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality. However, consistent evidence for such an association is lacking. We therefore perfo...

Open Access4.1 Normal Values and Determinants of Femoral Artery Stiffness
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered the gold standard measure of arterial stiffness, representing mainly aortic stiffness. As compared to the elastic carotid and aorta, the more muscular fe...
