Open AccessP111 Arterial Stiffness and Unattended and Attended BP Values
Measurement of “unattended” blood pressure (BP) may reduce or eliminate the “white coat effect”. Despite the possible advantages of this approach for BP measurement, only few studies analysed the relationship ...

Article
Open AccessP123 Unattended and Attended BP Values and Vasculare and Cardiac Organ Damage
It has been suggested that measurement of “unattended” blood pressure values may provide advantages over conventional BP measurement; some hypertension guidelines now suggest this approach as the preferred one...

Open AccessP41: Myocardial Mechanoenergetic Efficiency Index (MMEI) and Arterial Stiffness: association in A General Population in Norther Italy
A non-invasive approach for the estimation of mechanical efficiency through the calculation of the ratio between stroke work and HR-pressure product has been recently proposed by de Simone et al. This index, w...

Effect of long-term treatment with melatonin on vascular markers of oxidative stress/inflammation and on the anticontractile activity of perivascular fat in aging mice
Some reports have suggested that inflammation in perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) may be implicated in vascular dysfunction by causing the disappearance of an anticontractile effect. The aim of this study wa...

Open AccessP2.2 Resistant Hypertension and Structural Alterations of Subcutaneous Small Resistance Arteries
It is was suggested that, in resistant hypertension, the presence of particularly pronounced microvascular alterations may contribute to explain the relative lack of response to treatment. Similarly, in diabet...
