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.\u003cbr\u003eThis book also: \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOverviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms of arterial stiffness\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscusses the implications of arterial stiffness in target organ damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277453385879,"sku":"9783319248424","price":3633.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783319248424.webp?v=1769288414","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/arterial-stiffness-implications-and-interventions-9783319248424","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
