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. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Physiology,$x2192-9866 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aAtomic structure 606 $aMolecular structure 606 $aMolecular biology 606 $aCardiology 606 $aHealth promotion 606 $aAngiology 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 606 $aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P24017 606 $aMolecular Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B1700X 606 $aCardiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037 606 $aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H27010 606 $aAngiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33010 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 0$aAtomic structure. 615 0$aMolecular structure. 615 0$aMolecular biology. 615 0$aCardiology. 615 0$aHealth promotion. 615 0$aAngiology. 615 14$aHuman Physiology. 615 24$aAtomic/Molecular Structure and Spectra. 615 24$aMolecular Medicine. 615 24$aCardiology. 615 24$aHealth Promotion and Disease Prevention. 615 24$aAngiology. 676 $a616.136 700 $aFleenor$b Bradley S$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01061907 702 $aBerrones$b Adam J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298269703321 996 $aArterial Stiffness$92521361 997 $aUNINA
