Vascular Aging and Central Aortic Blood Pressure: From Pathophysiology to Treatment
June 22, 2020Arterial Stiffness and Cardiorespiratory Fitness Are Associated with Cognitive Function in Older Adults
October 27, 2020Carotid-Femoral Pulse Wave Velocity as a Risk Marker for Development of Complications in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Individuals with type 1 diabetes have a reduced life expectancy which can be associated to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease. A team led by Tougaard investigated 633 adults to determine if arterial stiffness markers are predictive biomarkers for complications in type 1 diabetes. Their results showed indeed arterial stiffness, associated with complications in type 1 diabetes mellitus, including albuminuria progression, decline in kidney function and cardiovascular events. Implementing vascular health assessments can inform personalized intervention to prevent such complications.
