known being hypertensive retinopathy. Other commonly involved parts of the eye in …

Aortic stiffness increases with advancing age, more than doubling during the human life
span, and is a robust predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD) clinical events independent …

The endothelium is recognized as a major determinant of vascular physiology and
