Arterial Stiffness: Understanding Its Impact on the Cardiovascular Health of Diabetic Patients

Arterial stiffness, characterized by a decrease in the elasticity of arterial walls, is a common complication of diabetes and metabolic syndrome. This condition significantly contributes to an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. This article explores the underlying mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic strategies for managing this condition.

Peripheral Arterial Disease: Understanding and Managing a Silent Threat

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, typically affecting the legs.

Sport as Medicine: Prescribing Exercise for Cardiovascular Health

Exercise has long been recognized as a cornerstone of cardiovascular health, and there is growing recognition that it should be prescribed like medicine.

The Importance of Cardiovascular Prevention in the Future: The Role of Homecare

Cardiovascular prevention is entering a new era, with homecare playing a pivotal role in delivering personalized and accessible monitoring.

The Role of Central Blood Pressure in Cardiovascular Health

Central blood pressure (CBP), measured at the aorta, offers a more accurate representation of the pressure exerted on major organs than traditional brachial blood pressure.

Pulse Wave Velocity and Pregnancy: Implications for Maternal Cardiovascular Health

Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) is a key indicator of arterial stiffness, playing an essential role in assessing the cardiovascular health of pregnant women.

Sleep Disorders and Arterial Stiffness: Cardiovascular Risks

The association between sleep disorders and cardiovascular risk has been demonstrated in numerous studies; as both a risk factor and a preventive measure, each aspect of sleep influences the likelihood of a cardiovascular event occurring.

Aging of Organs and Proteomics: A New Perspective

In a recent article, Dr. Éric TOPOL explores the emergence of organ protein clocks to predict and monitor aging, health, and organ-specific diseases. Three key studies are examined, highlighting how plasma proteins can reveal discrepancies between chronological age and biological age of organs, and how these discrepancies are associated with various health risks.
