Aortic stiffness, as assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, is an independent predictor of future events in individuals with hypertension. Recent data suggest a predictive role estimated velocity (ePWV) calculated previously published equations using age and blood pressure hypertension.To investigate whether ePWV its response to treatment predict survival the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT).This exploratory, hypothesis-generating, post hoc secondary analysis...
Abstract Prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains one the largest public health challenges our time. Identifying individuals at increased risk an asymptomatic, sub-clinical stage is paramount importance for minimizing progression as well substantial and economic burden associated with overt CVD. Vascular ageing (VA) involves deterioration in vascular structure function over time ultimately leads to damage heart, brain, kidney, other organs. encompasses cumulative effect all factors...
Regular aerobic exercise has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system. Marathon running is an and extremely vigorous exercise. Arterial stiffness wave reflections are independent predictors of risk. We investigated acute effect marathon race aortic reflections, as well possible chronic alterations these indexes in runners.We studied 49 runners (age 38 +/- 9 years) 46 recreationally active control subjects 37 5 years). To investigate race, a subgroup 20 was evaluated after well. Aortic...
Abstract Immediate assessment of coronary microcirculation during treatment ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) may facilitate patient stratification for targeted algorithms. Use pressure-wire to measure the index microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is possible but has inevitable practical restrictions. We aimed develop and validate angiography-derived (IMR angio ) as a novel pressure-wire-free microcirculation. 45 STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous intervention (pPCI)...
Arterial stiffness, as measured by arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), is an established biomarker for cardiovascular risk and target-organ damage in individuals with hypertension. With the emergence of new devices assessing PWV, it has become evident that some these yield results display significant discrepancies compared previous devices. This discrepancy underscores importance comprehensive validation procedures need international recommendations.
Vascular aging, as assessed by structural and functional arterial properties, is an independent predictor of cardiovascular risk. We hypothesized that the number risk factors determines progression vascular aging. One hundred forty-two subjects (mean age 51.9 years, 94 men) without established disease were investigated in 2 examinations over a 2-year period. Subjects classified at baseline according to their (from 0 more). had determinations carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, aortic...
Aims: Despite the prognostic value of coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) in patients with ST-segment-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), its assessment pressure-wire-based methods remains limited due to cost, technical and procedural complexities. The non-hyperaemic angiography-derived index microcirculatory resistance (NH IMR angio ) has been shown reliably predict injury STEMI. We investigated potential NH as a pressure-wire adenosine-free tool. Methods Results: was...
