Objectives: The purpose of this study was to calculate robust quantitative estimates of the
predictive value of aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) for future cardiovascular (CV) events …

Aims To calculate robust quantitative estimates on the predictive value of central pressures
and derived central haemodynamic indices for cardiovascular (CV) outcomes and all-cause …

Brachial-ankle elasticity index (baEI; also known as brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity) has
been proposed as a surrogate end point for cardiovascular disease. We performed a meta …

Background—Aortic stiffness is a marker of cardiovascular disease and an independent
predictor of cardiovascular risk. Although an association between inflammatory markers and …

Background—Erectile dysfunction (ED) carries an independent risk for cardiovascular (CV)
events. We conducted a meta-analysis of all longitudinal studies for determining the ability of …

Aims Erectile dysfunction (ED) confers an independent cardiovascular risk. We investigated
the role of low-grade inflammation and endothelial dysfunction in ED patients with or without …

Background: Epidemiologic studies suggest that high flavonoid intake confers a benefit on
cardiovascular outcome. Endothelial function, arterial stiffness, and wave reflections are …

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has raised concern regarding risk factors associated with
disease severity and case fatality. In this context, the association of smoking with severity …

Coffee is one of the most widely used pharmacologically active beverages. The present
study was designed to evaluate the acute effect of coffee ingestion on endothelial function in …

Background Arterial stiffness is an independent cardiovascular risk factor in hypertensive
individuals. Inflammation is associated with increased arterial stiffness and is implicated in …
