Call for Papers in Thematic Issues
Arterial Stiffness in hypertension and left ventricular dysfunction, PWV, Heart Failure
Large artery (aortic) stiffening has important consequences on cardiovascular health, including isolated systolic hypertension, excessive penetration of pulsatile energy into the microvasculature of target organs that operate at low vascular resistance, and abnormal ventricular-arterial interactions that promote left ventricular remodeling, dysfunction and failure. Large artery stiffness independently predicts cardiovascular risk ...read more
