О.М. Драпкина, М.В. Фадеева

Authors: O.M. Drapkina, M.V. Fadeeva

Place: Moscow, Russia

Institution: Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University

Abstract: The elastic arterial walls undergo structural and functional changes by age. Nevertheless, there is no close correspondence between the patient age and arterial aging. Arterial aging rather than patient age should be considered as a cardiovascular risk factor. The review is focused on the major constituents of the age of the arterial wall, and the main criteria for its calculation are determined.  

Keywords: arterial aging, cardiovascular risk, intima-media thickness, ankle brachial pressure index, pulse wave characteristics
