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

TL;DR: In this article, a randomized controlled trial of Aliskiren in the Prevention of Major Cardiovascular Events in Elderly people was presented. But the authors did not discuss the effect of the combination therapy in patients living with systolic hypertension.

Prediction of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality with arterial stiffness: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
TL;DR: Aortic stiffness expressed as aortic PWV is a strong predictor of future CV events and all-cause mortality and the predictive ability of arterial stiffness is higher in subjects with a higher baseline CV risk.

Non-invasive estimate of the mechanical properties of peripheral arteries from ultrasonic and photoplethysmographic measurements.
TL;DR: The results obtained in vivo on human radial and brachial arteries show that a thorough analysis of the compliance-pressure curves and their modifications is needed in order to compare two different vessels in a meaningful way.

Pulse wave analysis and pulse wave velocity: a critical review of their strengths and weaknesses.
TL;DR: A critical review of the uses, potential uses, strengths and weaknesses of the technique of applanation tonometry for the assessment of augmentation index and pulse wave velocity concludes that several pertinent issues need to be addressed before it can be used reliably as a clinical or research tool.

TL;DR: The increased SAC and decreased PWV in women receiving hormonal therapy suggest that such therapy may decrease stiffness of the aorta and large arteries in postmenopausal women, with potential benefit for age-related cardiovascular disorders.

Effects of the Selective Aldosterone Blocker Eplerenone Versus the Calcium Antagonist Amlodipine in Systolic Hypertension

TL;DR: Eplerenone was as effective as amlodipine in lowering systolic BP and pulse pressure as well as pulse wave velocity in older patients with widened pulse pressure hypertension and reduced microalbuminuria to a greater extent in this older patient group.

Pressure Amplification Explains Why Pulse Pressure Is Unrelated to Risk in Young Subjects
TL;DR: Pulse pressure rather than diastolic pressure is the best predictor of coronary heart disease risk in older subjects, but the converse is true in younger subjects, suggesting that assessment of central pressure may improve risk stratification further.
