Unlabelled: Normal endothelial function alters physiologically with aging. Intervention of environmental factors precipitates and accelerates endothelial dysfunction progression, correlated with cardiovascular risk.
Aim: To study the impact of environmental factors (smoking, nutritional habits, stress, physical activity) on the imbalance of the endothelial commuting threshold.
Unlabelled: HDL-cholesterol plays a key role defining the functional state of the arteries and the relation to cardiovascular risk.
Aim: To assess the degree of arterial stiffness in asymptomatic subjects with and without cardiovascular risk, depending on lipidic parameters behavior and on the insulin resistance state.
Methods: Arterial stiffness was assessed using the carotid-radial pulse wave velocity (PWV-CR) measured with Complior; cardiovascular risk was calculated using the SCORE chart; metabolic risk was quantified by assessing fasting lipidic (TC, TG, HDL, LDL) and glycemic parameters (HOMA-IR >1 defines the insulin resistance state).
