Added value of arterial stiffness index for the 10-year atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk determination in a middle-aged population-based study
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) is considered the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Arterial stiffness, measured by arterial stiffness index (ASI), could be a main predictor in target damage...

Arterial Stiffness and the Canonical WNT/β-catenin Pathway
Arterial stiffness (AS) was mainly associated with cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in a hypertensive patient. Some risk factors contribute to the development of AS, such as aging, high blood pressure, v...

WNT/β-catenin Pathway: a Possible Link Between Hypertension and Alzheimer’s Disease
Recent research has shown that older people with high blood pressure (BP), or hypertension, are more likely to have biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Essential hypertension represents the most common car...

Open AccessMolecular Mechanisms Underlying the Circadian Rhythm of Blood Pressure in Normotensive Subjects
Blood pressure (BP) follows a circadian rhythm (CR) in normotensive subjects. BP increases in the morning and decreases at night. This review aims at providing an up-to-date overview regarding the molecular me...

Arterial Stiffness and Coronary Ischemia: New Aspects and Paradigms
Aortic stiffness (AS) is widely associated with hypertension and considered as a major predictor of coronary heart disease (CHD). AS is measured using carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), particularly wh...
