Arterial stiffness in patients with type 1 diabetes and its comparison to cardiovascular risk evaluation tools Ghent University
Background Arterial stiffness is a potential biomarker for cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). However, its relation with other CV risk evaluation tools in T1D has not been elucidated yet. This study aimed to evaluate arterial stiffness in T1D patients free from known CVD, and compare it to other CV risk evaluation tools used in T1D. Methods Cross-sectional study in adults with a T1D duration of at least 10 ...
Time-varying parameters of glycemic control and glycation in relation to arterial stiffness in patients with type 1 diabetes Ghent University
Background: A substantial proportion of type 1 diabetes (T1D) patients free from known cardiovascular disease (CVD) show premature arterial stiffening, with age, blood pressure, and HbA1c-as gold standard of glycemic control-as main predictors. However, the relationship of arterial stiffness with other time-varying parameters of glycemic control and glycation has been far less explored. This study investigated the relationship of arterial ...
Impact of diabetes mellitus on ventricular structure, arterial stiffness, and pulsatile hemodynamics in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction Ghent University
Background-Heterogeneity in the underlying processes that contribute to heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is increasingly recognized. Diabetes mellitus is a frequent comorbidity in HFpEF, but its impact on left ventricular and arterial structure and function in HFpEF is unknown. Methods and Results-Weassessed the impact of diabetesmellitus on left ventricular cellular and interstitial hypertrophy (assessedwith ...
Increased arterial stiffness in pre-eclamptic pregnancy at term and early and late postpartum: a combined echocardiographic and tonometric study Ghent University
Local carotid arterial stiffness is an independent determinant of left ventricular remodeling in never-treated hypertensive patients Vrije Universiteit Brussel
PURPOSE: The aim was to investigate the association between blood pressure (BP), carotid stiffness, carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and left ventricular (LV) remodeling in never-treated hypertensive patients.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 178 never-treated hypertensive underwent transthoracic echocardiography, 24-hour ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM), local carotid stiffness and regional cfPWV assessed using a high-definition ...
Effect of local neck anatomy on localized one-dimensional measurements of arterial stiffness : a finite-element model study Ghent University University of Antwerp
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the most prevalent cause of death in the Western World, and their prevalence is only expected to rise. Several screening modalities aim at detecting CVD at the early stages. A common target for early screening is common carotid artery (CCA) stiffness, as reflected in the pulse wave velocity (PWV). For assessing the CCA stiffness using ultrasound (US), one-dimensional (1D) measurements along the CCA axis are ...
Aortic, common carotid and external iliac artery arterial wall stiffness parameters in horses : inter-day and inter-observer and intra-observer measurement variability Ghent University
Background In human medicine, local and regional arterial wall stiffness (AWS) parameters are routinely used to assess the vascular health. In horses, information regarding reproducibility of ultrasonographically derived AWS parameters is lacking. Objectives To evaluate the inter-day and inter-observer and intra-observer measurement variability of both local and regional AWS parameters in horses. Study design Experimental study. Methods In 10 ...
