Interventions to Destiffen Arteries -- Index.Arterial stiffness is an emerging risk factor with important implications for cardiovascular disease risk. Herein, we concisely summarize the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of arterial stiffening, and highlight the importance of increased arterial stiffness for future cardiovascular events. Factors contributing to increased arterial stiffness such as advancing age, obesity, race, sex differences and cardiorespiratory fitness are examined while elucidating the potential underlying mechanisms for each scenario. To conclude, we discuss novel interventions to prevent and/or reverse the arterial stiffening process in order to reduce cardiovascular risk. This book also: Overviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms of arterial stiffness Discusses the implications of arterial stiffness in target organ damage.SpringerBriefs in Physiology,2192-9866Human physiologyAtomic structure  Molecular structure Molecular biologyCardiologyHealth promotionAngiologyHuman Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004Atomic/Molecular Structure and Spectrahttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017Molecular Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B1700XCardiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037Health Promotion and Disease Preventionhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010Angiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33010Human physiology.Atomic structure  .Molecular structure .Molecular biology.Cardiology.Health promotion.Angiology.Human Physiology.Atomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra.Molecular Medicine.Cardiology.Health Promotion and Disease Prevention.Angiology.616.136Fleenor Bradley Sauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061907Berrones Adam Jauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298269703321Arterial Stiffness2521361UNINA
