Objective: To investigate the relationship between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), which is a marker of arteriosclerosis and the development of contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN).
Study Design: Descriptive study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Department of Cardiology, Sakarya University Medical Faculty, from May to December 2019.
Methodology: Between May and December 2019, demographic characteristics, CAVI measurements, and in-hospital clinical outcomes were compared among 66 patients, who developed CIN after coronary angiography (CAG) and an acute coronary syndrome (ACS) diagnosis, and 60 ACS patients without CIN.
Results: The frequency of CIN development in the study was 5.5%. In the CIN group, EF was lower (44.5 ± 10.6% vs. 49.3 ± 9.8%, p = 0.011) and GFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) at admission, was lower (60.3 ± 23.3 vs. 87.0 ± 21.5, p <0.001) than in the non-CIN group. CAVI values indicative of arterial stiffness (AS) were significantly higher in the CIN group. Mortality was not significantly higher in the CIN group (p = 0.099).
Conclusion: AS is more common in ACS patients, who developed CIN after CAG. Older patients with low EF and low GFR, in whom AS is more common, should be intravenously hydrated and more closely monitored to prevent CIN development. Key Words: Contrast-induced nephropathy, Acute coronary syndrome, Cardio-ankle vascular index, Arterial stiffness.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower extremities are serious complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Aerobic exercise has been shown to be primarily effective for glycemic control and gait disturbance owing to PAD. However, the safety and efficacy of exercise therapy in patients with PDR remain unclear.

Background: The objective of this cohort study was to assess the predictive value of main arterial markers for cardiovascular death in middle-aged subjects with metabolic syndrome (MetS).
Methods: This prospective longitudinal study analyzed data from 5829 metabolic syndrome subjects without overt cardiovascular disease aged between 40 and 64 years and enrolled in the Lithuanian High Cardiovascular Risk primary prevention program. Initial assessment comprised the evaluation of aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV), carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), carotid stiffness index, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), ankle-brachial index (ABI), aortic augmentation index adjusted for a heart rate of 75 bpm (AIXHR75), and endothelium-dependent flow-mediated dilatation (FMD).

Background: Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.
Methods: Out of the original 9704 participants in the Mashhad stroke and heart atherosclerotic disorder (MASHAD) cohort study, we randomly selected 363 healthy participants, 226 normal subjects (who reported symptoms of CVD but were not confirmed) and 292 individuals who had experienced a major cardiovascular event.
Background: the Naples Prognostic Score is a novel scoring system designed to provide a comprehensive assessment of patients' inflammation and nutritional status. Aim: our aim was to investigate the correlation between the Naples Prognostic Score and arterial stiffness, a factor known to be linked with heart failure and acute coronary syndrome. Materials and methods: this prospective study included 142 consecutive patients without a history of cardiovascular disease, inflammatory disease, immunological disease, malignancy, or comorbid conditions other than hypertension.

The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is superior to traditional methods of measuring arterial stiffness. However, its application in clinical practice has lagged behind the science. This study aimed to (1) examine its test-retest reliability and agreement between repeated measurements, (2) identify the correlation with fatigue and sleep quality, and (3) compare the CAVI values of the bilateral sides of people with stroke, and those of stroke survivors with and without fatigue.
