In a review of the pathophysiological events that contribute to the development of arterial stiffness and strategies aimed to reduce the stiffening of the arterial wall, a research group at the University of Sassari led by Roberto Castelli reported on aging of the arterial system and advocates for the early assessment of arterial stiffness as vascular alteration precede clinical manifestation of cardiovascular disease. While there is no specific pharmacological target for arterial stiffness, the treatment of its risk factors helps to improve the elasticity of the arterial wall.
