The genetic basis for altered blood vessel function in disease: large artery stiffening.

Vascular health and risk management - 1 Jan 2005

Agrotis Alex

Abstract excerpt

The progressive stiffening of the large arteries in humans that occurs during aging constitutes a potential risk factor for increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and is accompanied by an elevation in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. While the underlying basis for these changes remains to be fully elucidated, factors that are able to influence the structure and composition of the...
