Arterial stiffness is the result of a complex interplay between gene and environment. The metalloproteniases (MMPs) play an important role in vascular remodelling and plasma MMP-9 levels predict cardiovascular...
It is very well known that women in reproductive period are naturally better protected against cardiovascular diseases than men of the same age. The reasons for these are not clear.
It is demonstrated that Essential Hypertension is accompanied by a reduction of large artery distensibility (Dist), which represents a marker of demonstrated prognostic significance. Dist can be assessed by ec...

Recent data suggest that chronic systemic inflammation and impaired levels of adipose tissue hormones play a critical role in cardiovascular disease. Aortic stiffness and wave reflections are independent marke...
Oxidative stress impairs wave reflections, which are independent markers and prognosticators of cardiovascular risk.The NADPH oxidase system maintains the redox state in the vessel wall. Recent studies have re...
Measurements of the arterial pulse were made at the brachial, carotid, and radial artery. The pressure and volume waveforms were obtained using piezoelectric and optical sensors, respectively. The data were di...

Erectile dysfunction may be an early sign of atherosclerosis. The incidence of erectile dysfunction is increased in patients with cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus. Howeve...
The purpose was to investigate whether the metabolic syndrome was associated with measures of arterial stiffness, flow mediated dilatation (FMD), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid plaques (CP) i...
Hypertension is the most common comorbidity in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). Wave reflections (WR) are an important predictor of cardiovascular risk. The association of ED with WR in hypertensive pa...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) modify the mechanical characteristics of arteries. A better understanding of the corresponding changes will improve diagnostic possibilities.
In animal experiments, aldosterone has been shown to substantially contribute to the accumulation of collagen fibres in the arterial wall, which can increase arterial stiffness. The aim of the study was to exa...
The pathophysiology of increased coronary heart disease (CHD) risk affecting South Asians(SA) living in Britain remains unclear. For a given blood pressure SA have a higher risk of CHD than the indigenous Euro...
