The Role of MicroRNAs in Arterial Stiffness and Arterial Calcification. An Update and Review of the Literature
12 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
Arterial stiffness is an independent risk factor for fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, such as systolic hypertension, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart failure. Moreover it reflects arterial aging which in many cases does not coincide with chronological aging, a fact that is in large attributed to genetic factors. In addition to genetic factors, microRNAs (miRNAs) seem to largely affect arterial...
