Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison between carotid-femoral and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity as measures of arterial stiffness.
Hirofumi Tanaka,Masanori Munakata,Yuhei Kawano,Mitsuru Ohishi,Tetsuo Shoji,Jun Sugawara,Hirofumi Tomiyama,Akira Yamashina,Hisayo Yasuda,Toshitami Sawayama,Toshio Ozawa +10 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that cfPWV and baPWVs are indices of arterial stiffness that exhibit similar extent of associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Unfavorable Effects of Resistance Training on Central Arterial Compliance A Randomized Intervention Study
Motohiko Miyachi,Hiroshi Kawano,Jun Sugawara,Kouki Takahashi,Kouichiro Hayashi,K Yamazaki,Izumi Tabata,Hirofumi Tanaka +7 more
TL;DR: In marked contrast to the beneficial effect of regular aerobic exercise, several months of resistance training “reduces” central arterial compliance in healthy men.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity: an index of central arterial stiffness?
Jun Sugawara,Koichiro Hayashi,Takashi Yokoi,Miriam Y. Cortez-Cooper,Allison E. DeVan,M. A. Anton,Hirofumi Tanaka,Hirofumi Tanaka +7 more
TL;DR: Brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity may provide qualitatively similar information to those derived from central arterial stiffness although some portions of baPWV may be determined by peripheral arterials stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age-Associated Elongation of the Ascending Aorta in Adults
TL;DR: The aorta lengthens with age, even in healthy humans, due primarily to the elongation of the ascending aorte, which undergoes lengthening with age and is not included in the arterial length measurements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of exercise training of 8 weeks and detraining on plasma levels of endothelium-derived factors, endothelin-1 and nitric oxide, in healthy young humans.
Seiji Maeda,Takashi Miyauchi,Tetsuji Kakiyama,Jun Sugawara,Motoyuki Iemitsu,Yoko Irukayama-Tomobe,Haruka Murakami,Yoshito Kumagai,Shinya Kuno,Mitsuo Matsuda +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that chronic exercise causes an increase in production of NO and a decrease inProduction of ET-1 in humans, which may produce beneficial effects (i.e., vasodilative and antiatherosclerotic) on the cardiovascular system.
