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

Is Hypertension Associated With an Accelerated Aging of the Brain
TL;DR: Age-dependent effect of exposure and the fact that, to fully evaluate its impact, hypertension should be assessed several decades before the onset of dementia have made it remarkably more complex to study the role of hypertension on the brain.

Limitations of augmentation index in the assessment of wave reflection in normotensive healthy individuals.
Alun D. Hughes,Chloe Park,Justin E. Davies,Darrel P. Francis,Simon Thom,Jamil Mayet,Kim H. Parker +6 more
TL;DR: negative AIx values derived from Type C waves should not be used as estimates of wave reflection magnitude and log WRI and Pb/Pf showed negative associations with age, were unrelated to height and did not differ significantly by gender.

Sub-clinical left and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with COPD
Ramsey Sabit,Charlotte E. Bolton,Charlotte E. Bolton,Alan G. Fraser,Julie May Edwards,Peter Edwards,Andreea Alina Ionescu,John R. Cockcroft,Dennis J. Shale +8 more
TL;DR: Both right and left ventricular dysfunction are present in patients with mild airways obstruction suggesting that cardiac co-morbidities commence early in the development of COPD.

Association of Assisted Reproductive Technologies With Arterial Hypertension During Adolescence
Théo A. Meister,Stefano F. Rimoldi,Rodrigo Soria,Robert von Arx,Franz H. Messerli,Claudio Sartori,Urs Scherrer,Emrush Rexhaj +7 more
TL;DR: Premature vascular aging persisted in ART-conceived subjects, as evidenced by a roughly 25% impairment of flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery and increased pulse-wave velocity and carotid intima-media thickness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Arterial Stiffness as Surrogate End Point Needed Clinical Trials
TL;DR: This Brief Review will discuss experimental designs of randomized clinical trials demonstrating that a therapeutic strategy that normalizes arterial stiffness is more effective in preventing CV events than usual care, and suggest additional studies to demonstrate its value as surrogate end point.

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.

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.
