Physical activity and arterial stiffness: is body fat a mediator?
PurposePhysical activity (PA) and body fat percentage (%BF) are independently associated with arterial stiffness, but it has not been explored if...
-
Diabetes, glycemic control and arterial stiffness: a real-world cohort study in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine
BackgroundArterial stiffness is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although several metabolic markers associated with arterial...

Uninterrupted prolonged sitting and arterial stiffness: moderating effect of prior aerobic exercise in physically active adults
PurposeProlonged sitting acutely increases arterial stiffness, with interruption strategies only providing limited success in offsetting these rises....
-
Effect of transmural pressure on the estimation of arterial stiffness index from the photoplethysmographic waveform
The aim of this study was to find the effect of transmural pressure on the determination of the photoplethysmographic (PPG) waveform arterial...
-
Arterial stiffness and augmentation index are associated with balance function in young adults
ObjectiveArterial stiffness and pulsatile central hemodynamics have been shown to affect various aspects of physical function, such as exercise...
-
Fully automatic carotid arterial stiffness assessment from ultrasound videos based on machine learning
Arterial stiffness (AS) refers to the loss of arterial compliance and alterations in vessel wall properties. The study of local carotid stiffness...

Effects of resistance exercise alone or with caffeine on hemodynamics, autonomic modulation and arterial stiffness in resistance-trained women
AimBoth an acute bout of resistance exercise (RE) and caffeine consumption can significantly alter hemodynamics, autonomic modulation, and arterial...
-
Effects of trunk stretching using an exercise ball on central arterial stiffness and carotid arterial compliance
PurposeAcute or regular stretching exercises reduce arterial stiffness, but whether stretching exercises per se can reduce central arterial stiffness...

Arterial Stiffness May Predict Subsequent Cancer Therapy-Related Cardiac Dysfunction in Breast Cancer Patients
Cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) is still a serious problem. Existing risk scores are insufficient for risk classification,...
-
Alcohol Consumption: A New Risk Factor for Arterial Stiffness?
The relationship between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease risk is complex. Low-to-moderate daily alcohol consumption (1–2 drinks/day)...
-
Inadequacy of Augmentation Index for Monitoring Arterial Stiffness: Comparison with Arterial Compliance and Other Hemodynamic Variables
PurposeAugmentation Index (AI x ) is used clinically for monitoring both wave reflections and arterial stiffness, which when increased is a risk...
-
Mixed circuit training acutely reduces arterial stiffness in patients with chronic stroke: a crossover randomized controlled trial
PurposeInvestigate whether a single bout of mixed circuit training (MCT) can elicit changes in arterial stiffness in patients with chronic stroke....
-
Mutual effect of homocysteine and uric acid on arterial stiffness and cardiovascular risk in the context of predictive, preventive, and personalized medicine
BackgroundArterial stiffness is a major risk factor and effective predictor of cardiovascular diseases and a common pathway of pathological vascular...
-
The acute effect of passively assisted trunk stretching on central arterial stiffness and blood pressure in middle-aged to older adults
PurposeWe examined the effects of acute trunk stretching on central arterial stiffness and central and peripheral blood pressure in middle-aged to...
-
Arterial stiffness and cardiometabolic health in omnivores and vegetarians: a cross-sectional pilot study
ObjectiveArterial stiffness is a strong predictor of cardiovascular mortality, and often precedes elevations in blood pressure. This cross-sectional...

Dihydrotestosterone induces arterial stiffening in female mice
BackgroundAndrogens are important sex hormones in both men and women and are supplemented when endogenous levels are low, for gender transitioning,...
-
Effect of Nonlinear Hyperelastic Property of Arterial Tissues on the Pulse Wave Velocity Based on the Unified-Fiber-Distribution (UFD) Model
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a key, independent risk factor for future cardiovascular events. The Moens–Korteweg equation describes the relation...
