Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) has been reported to occur after subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the involvement of a critical activity of catecholamines has been mentioned, but the details of its onset have not been fully clarified. Recently, proper arterial stiffness could be measured with cardio-ankle vascular index. Therefore, we aimed to clarify the role of arterial stiffness in onset of TCM using rabbits under infusion of noradrenaline and injection of blood into brain ventricle. Rabbits were divided into three groups: infusion of noradrenaline (group A), infusion of noradrenaline + injection of saline into the brain ventricle (group B), infusion of noradrenaline + injection of blood in the brain ventricle (group C). Aortic arterial stiffness beta (β) and femoral arterial stiffness beta (β) were defined according to definition of the cardio-ankle vascular index. Blood pressure (BP), β, β, and femoral vessel resistance (FVR) were measured. Left ventricular movement were monitored with echocardiography. BP increased uniformly in all three groups. β in the group A, B and C increased from 3.6 ± 3.2, 3.6 ± 3.6 and 3.9_ ± 4.2 to 15 ± 2, 17.9 ± 2.4, 34.8 ± 9.1 due to the ICP enhancements in addition to noradrenaline administration, respectively. β in groups B and C was significantly larger than that in group A. On echocardiography, a much higher akinesic area of the apex was observed in group C compared with group A and B. Cardiac movements similar to TCM were observed slightly in group B and definitely in group C. Noradrenaline administration infusion and blood injection into the brain ventricle induced TCM accompanying with enhanced femoral arterial stiffness. These results suggested that elevated arterial stiffness might be involved in the formation of TCM in addition to a critical activity of catecholamines and an increase in intracranial pressure with blood injection.

Background: Cerebral arterial dilatation, signifying outward vascular remodeling, is linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease and a higher burden of white matter hyperintensities (WMH). Arterial dilatation may disrupt cerebral hemodynamics and lead to delayed blood arrival to the brain, which is itself linked to an increased burden of WMH. We examined if arterial dilatation was associated with blood arrival timing and if blood arrival timing mediated the effect of arterial dilatation on WMH burden.

Background: Emerging evidence indicates that arterial stiffening is associated with aging and cognitive impairment. Arterial stiffness is typically assessed by measuring pulse wave velocity (PWV) between carotid and femoral arteries. A recent study has introduced a fast oblique-sagittal PC-MRI (OS PC-MRI) technique that allows for simultaneously quantifying carotid PWV (cPWV) and CCA-ICA damping factor (cDF) within 2 minutes.

Background: Stiffening of the large elastic arteries is an emerging age-related risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related dementia (ADRD). Arterial stiffness is associated with pathological changes underlying AD/ADRD, and total arterial stiffness (T-PWV) can be subdivided into two main mechanisms. Structural stiffening (S-PWV) is due to intrinsic remodeling of the artery wall, and load-dependent stiffening (LD-PWV) is due to increased blood pressure without intrinsic changes to the artery wall.

Aim: To study the relationship between laboratory markers and echocardiography (EchoCG) parameters in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) depending on the results of the diastolic stress test (DST).
Material And Methods: The diagnostic algorithm provided by the current guidelines for the assessment of left ventricular (LV) diastolic function was used to select patients. If there were not enough criteria to make a conclusion about increased LV filling pressure (FP) based on standard resting echocardiography data in patients with arterial hypertension and ischemic heart disease, DST was performed to detect HFpEF.
Background: Prior studies have demonstrated a negative correlation between arterial stiffness and cognitive function, suggesting that pulse wave velocity (PWV) could be a promising noninvasive vascular biomarker for detecting cognitive decline. However, the link between PWV and specific Alzheimer's Disease (AD) cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers has not been examined. This cross-sectional study examines the association between PWV and AD CSF tau/Aβ ratios.
