BACKGROUND: In humans, uric acid is a product of purine metabolism that impacts the vascular system. In addition to effects on arterial vascular tone, associations between serum uric acid concentrations-even in the physiological range-and arterial hy...
BACKGROUND: High systolic blood pressure is one of the leading global risk factors for mortality, contributing significantly to cardiovascular diseases. Despite advances in treatment, a large proportion of patients with hypertension do not achieve op...

Arterial stiffness is a non-traditional risk factor of cardiovascular disease and may explain part of the excess cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease patients. Successful renal transplantation (RT) may restore renal function and improve seve...
BACKGROUND: Aortic stiffness, assessed as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity, provides a measure of vascular age and risk for adverse cardiovascular disease outcomes, but it is difficult to measure. The shape of arterial pressure waveforms conveys i...
Several arterial diseases are closely related with mechanical properties of the blood vessel and interactions of flow-vessel dynamics such as mean flow velocity, wall shear stress (WSS) and vascular strain. However, there is an opportunity to improve...
AIM: To evaluate the association of serum FGF21 with subclinical atherosclerosis and pulse wave velocity, a marker of arterial stiffness, in type 2 diabetes Egyptian patients.
INTRODUCTION: It might in the future be valuable to screen for increased maternal arterial stiffness, i.e. low compliance, since it is associated with development of hypertensive complications in pregnancy. Digital pulse wave analysis (DPA) is an eas...
Elevated levels of FGF23 in individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are associated with adverse health outcomes, such as increased mortality, large vessel disease, and reduced white matter volume, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. Apar...
