TLDR
In this paper, the authors summarized the proceedings of several meetings of the European Network for Non-invasive Investigation of Large Arteries and aimed at providing an updated and practical overview of the most relevant methodological aspects and clinical applications in this area.Abstract:
In recent years, great emphasis has been placed on the role of arterial stiffness in the development of cardiovascular diseases. Indeed, the assessment of arterial stiffness is increasingly used in the clinical assessment of patients. Although several papers have previously addressed the methodological issues concerning the various indices of arterial stiffness currently available, and their clinical applications, clinicians and researchers still report difficulties in selecting the most appropriate methodology for their specific use. This paper summarizes the proceedings of several meetings of the European Network for Non-invasive Investigation of Large Arteries and is aimed at providing an updated and practical overview of the most relevant methodological aspects and clinical applications in this area.read more

Effects of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment and Withdrawal in Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea on Arterial Stiffness and Central BP
Craig L. Phillips,Brendon J. Yee,Qiao Yang,Anna Tessa C. Villaneuva,Jan Hedner,Norbert Berend,Ronald R. Grunstein +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that clinically important changes in arterial stiffness and central BP may occur following effective CPAP treatment of OSA without parallel changes in peripheral BP.

TL;DR: In this paper, the association between albuminuria and arterial stiffness in a middle-aged population-based study was evaluated using multiple logistic and linear regression analyses in Taiwan.

Paris Prospective Study III: a study of novel heart rate parameters, baroreflex sensitivity and risk of sudden death
Jean-Philippe Empana,Kathy Bean,Catherine Guibout,Frédérique Thomas,Annie Bingham,Bruno Pannier,Pierre Boutouyrie,Xavier Jouven +7 more
TL;DR: This unique study should provide new insights into the regulation of heart rate and blood pressure and should enable to identify novel heart rate parameters that are associated with sudden death.

Hypertension in African Americans
TL;DR: Racial health disparities related to hypertension in African Americans are a serious public health concern that warrants greater attention and multi-disciplinary research to understand the inter-relationship between biological and social factors is needed to guide successful treatments.

Early Prediction of Increased Arterial Stiffness in Patients with Chronic Inflammation: A 15-year Followup Study of 108 Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Sella Aarrestad Provan,Kristin Angel,Anne Grete Semb,Petter Mowinckel,Stefan Agewall,Dan Atar,Tore K Kvien +6 more
TL;DR: Inflammation early in the RA disease course was associated with increased AIx and PWV after 15 years, supporting the importance of early control of the inflammatory process in patients with RA.

TL;DR: The most effective therapy prescribed by the most careful clinician will control hypertension only if patients are motivated, and empathy builds trust and is a potent motivator.

TL;DR: In those older than age 50, systolic blood pressure of greater than 140 mm Hg is a more important cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factor than diastolic BP, and hypertension will be controlled only if patients are motivated to stay on their treatment plan.

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.

Prevention of cardiovascular events with an antihypertensive regimen of amlodipine adding perindopril as required versus atenolol adding bendroflumethiazide as required, in the Anglo-Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial-Blood Pressure Lowering Arm (ASCOT-BPLA): a multicentre randomised controlled trial

TL;DR: The amlodipine-based regimen prevented more major cardiovascular events and induced less diabetes than the atenolol- based regimen, and these effects might not be entirely explained by better control of blood pressure.
