OBJECTIVE: Well-known ethnic differences in cardiovascular risk exist, which may be explained by ethnic differences in arterial stiffness. Our aim was to assess ethnic differences in arterial stiffness, to explore whether these differences are accounted for by conventional cardiovascular risk factor

Atherosclerosis and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAAs) are two of the most common vascular diseases. Current clinical criteria in monitoring and risk assessment of these diseases exhibit profound weaknesses. Since both diseases are associated with mechanical changes in the arterial wall, Pulse Wave I

Insulin resistance and vascular remodeling are prevalent and predict cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients. Angiotensin II (Ang II) may be involved in both pathogenesis. In the present study, we investigated the effects of the Ang II receptor blocker losartan on insulin resistance, arter
