Structural and Genetic Bases of Arterial Stiffness
26 Apr 2005
Abstract excerpt
Arterial stiffness has independent predictive value for cardiovascular events. We review data concerning the heritability of arterial stiffness, and propose an integrated view of the structural and genetic determinants of arterial stiffness, based on a candidate gene approach and recent studies on gene expression profile. Arterial stiffness seems to have a genetic component, which is largely independent of the...
