In the fight against cardiovascular diseases, preventive strategies are becoming the focus of
attention. One of these strategies proposes to identify individuals who are at a high risk of …

Objective Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in breast cancer survivors.
While evidence shows circuit resistance training (CRT) is effective for improving muscle and …

Background Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of cardiovascular and all-cause
mortality that is classically regarded as a consequence of arterial hypertension. However, a …

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of preterm birth on risk factors for cardiovascular
disease (CVD), independent of birth size. STUDY DESIGN: Observational study using data …

Background Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an indicator of aortic stiffness and a predictor of
cardiovascular risk. Applanation tonometry (eg, SphygmoCor) is a well-established method …

Background: Arterial stiffness is a natural consequence of aging, accelerated in certain
chronic conditions, and predictive of cardiovascular events in adults. Emerging research …

Background Oscillometric pulse wave velocity (o-PWV) represents an attractive, non
invasive and non operator-dependent method to estimate arterial stiffness. Tonometric …

Background: Age is a key determinant for the development of cardiovascular disease and
higher age coincides with an increased prevalence of obesity and physical inactivity. The …

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for
17.7 million deaths per year. 1 CVD also rank first in terms of hospitalization costs in …

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a common measure of arterial stiffness. Non‐invasive methods
to measure PWV are widely used in biomedical studies of aging and cardiovascular …
