2. A new method of arterial stiffness measurement in pseudoexfoliation syndrome: cardio-ankle vascular index
RESUMO Objetivo: Investigar se a síndrome de pseudoesfoliação afeta a rigidez arterial, usando a medição do índice vascular cardíaco-tornozelo. Métodos: Este estudo transversal caso-controle incluiu 55 pacientes com síndrome de pseudoesfoliação e 106 controles saudáveis, pareados por idade e gênero. Todos os indivíduos foram submetidos a um e

3. Evaluation of the cardio-ankle vascular index in COVID-19 patients
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the relationship and prognostic significance of cardio-ankle vascular index, which is a measure of arterial stiffness that can lead to endothelial dysfunction and poor cardiovascular issues in COVID-19 patients, with COVID-19. METHODS: The study included 115 patients, of which 65 patients in the case gro

4. Study of Arterial Stiffness - Based on Scientific Evidence, What are the Current Tools for the Study of Arterial Stiffness?
Abstract Background The European Heart Surgery Risk Assessment System (EuroSCORE) and InsCor have been used to predict complications of cardiac surgery. However, their application to predict lung function and functionality is still uncertain. Objective To correlate surgical risk scales with functional independence and pulmonary function in patients under

5. Central and peripheral blood pressures and arterial stiffness increase in hypoparathyroidism
ABSTRACT Objective The aim of the present study was to evaluate whether arterial stiffness is affected in the patients with hypoparathyroidism through pulse wave analysis (PWA). Subjects and methods Sixty-three patients diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism and sixty volunteers were evaluated for the study. When 21 patients were excluded in the hypoparathyro

6. Determinants of Arterial Stiffness and Vascular Aging in the Older Adult
Abstract Background: Arterial stiffness (AS) is recognized as an important and independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Objective: This study was aimed at identifying the main determinants of AS in the elderly. Design and Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional study of elderly participants. Blood pressure (BP) and parameters

7. Vascular Aging and Arterial Stiffness in Older Adults
ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic has radically changed the way of life around the World. The state of alarm has forced the population to stay at home, radically changing both interpersonal and partner relationships; work at home, social distancing, the continued presence of children at home, fear of infection and not being able to physically meet with others h

8. Arterial Stiffness: The New Frontier in Hypertension and Cardiovascular Disease
Abstract José Saramago, Nobel Prize in Literature, is the author of a statement that provokes adult readers: “What if children’s stories become mandatory reading for adults? Would they really learn what they’ve been teaching for so long?”. 1 It is in this context that literary texts dedicated to children have been used at times in medical education

9. Tonometric and Oscillometric Methods for Measurement of Central Blood Pressure Parameters: a Comparison in Patients with Borderline Hypertension or Stage 1 Hypertension
Abstract Background Changes in arterial compliance are among the first changes detectable in hypertensive syndrome. Methods with good reproducibility as compared with the gold standard for identifying such changes are desirable in clinical practice. Objectives To compare central pressure measurements and arterial stiffness obtained by two non-invasive me

10. Impairment of myocardial functions and arterial stiffness in patients with lichen planus,
Abstract Background: Lichen planus is a chronic inflammatory mucocutaneous disease. Recent studies have suggested that it is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular comorbidities. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess and compare arterial stiffness and cardiovascular hemodynamics in patients with lichen planus and a healthy control

11. Disease activity is associated with LV dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis patients without clinical cardiovascular disease
Abstract Objectives: The cross-sectional study aimed to assess left ventricular systolic function using global longitudinal strain (GLS) by speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) and arterial stiffness using cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in Thai adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and no clinical evidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods: C

12. Influences on the Functional Behavior of Great Arteries during Orthostasis
Resumo Fundamento: A redução da complacência arterial tem sido associada ao envelhecimento e à hipertensão na postura supina. Entretanto, os efeitos dinâmicos do ortostatismo na distensibilidade aórtica não foram definidos. Objetivo: Determinar a influência ortostática e a interferência da idade, pressão arterial (PA) e frequência cardíaca (F
