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...
The interrelationship between endothelial function and arterial stiffness may be different for central and peripheral arteries due to their structural and functional differences. The study aims to assess the interrelationship between central and peri...

The difference in pulse pressure (PP) between peripheral arteries and the aorta, called pulse pressure amplification (PPamp), is a well-described physiological phenomenon independently associated with cardiovascular events. Recent studies suggest tha...
AIMS: We compared various components of blood pressure and arterial stiffness of healthy control with those of coronary artery disease (CAD) patients using BP+ machine™.

Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cf-PWV) is an important but difficult to obtain measure of arterial stiffness and an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality. The objective of this study was to develop a predictive ...

OBJECTIVE: Arterial stiffness refers to arterial wall rigidity, particularly developing in central vessels. Arterial stiffness increases in early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD), and it is a strong predictor of cardiovascular and all cause mortali...
