Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hypertensive patients.
Stéphane Laurent,Pierre Boutouyrie,Roland Asmar,Isabelle Gautier,Brigitte Laloux,Louis Guize,Pierre Ducimetière,Athanase Benetos +7 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first direct evidence that aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with essential hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial Stiffness and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease and Stroke: The Rotterdam Study
Francesco U.S. Mattace-Raso,Tischa J. M. van der Cammen,Albert Hofman,Nicole M. van Popele,Michiel L. Bos,Maarten A.D.H. Schalekamp,Roland Asmar,Robert S. Reneman,Arnold P.G. Hoeks,Monique M.B. Breteler,Jacqueline C.M. Witteman +10 more
TL;DR: Aortic pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of coronary heart disease and stroke in apparently healthy subjects and carotid distensibility as measured in this study was not independently associated with cardiovascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic Stiffness Is an Independent Predictor of Primary Coronary Events in Hypertensive Patients: A Longitudinal Study
Pierre Boutouyrie,Anne Isabelle Tropeano,Roland Asmar,Isabelle Gautier,Athanase Benetos,Patrick Lacolley,Stéphane Laurent +6 more
TL;DR: This study provides the first direct evidence in a longitudinal study that aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of primary coronary events in patients with essential hypertension.
European Society of Hypertension recommendations for conventional, ambulatory and home blood pressure
Roland Asmar,Lawrie J. Beilin,Yutaka Imai,Jean-Michel Mallion,Giuseppe Mancia,Thomas Mengden,Martin G. Myers,Paul L. Padfield,Paolo Palatini,Gianfranco Parati,Thomas G. Pickering,Josep Redon,Jan A. Staessen,George S. Stergiou,Paolo Verdecchia +14 more
TL;DR: The accuracy of the conventional Riva-Rocci/Korotkoff technique of blood pressure measurement has been questioned and efforts have been made to improve the technique with automated devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity as a Marker of Cardiovascular Risk in Hypertensive Patients
TL;DR: This study shows that aortic PWV is strongly associated with the presence and extent of atherosclerosis and constitutes a forceful marker and predictor of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients.
