Paulus Kirchhof, Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at the University of Birmingham, Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Director of the Department of Cardiology at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf, shared a post on LinkedIn about recent article by Katharina Alina Riedl et al., published in Clinical Research in Cardiology, adding:
“Aortic stiffness: A consequence of high blood pressure, or a driver, or both?
Aortic stiffness: A consequence a driver, or a modifier of high blood pressure, or all of these?
High blood pressure is an important cause of cardiovascular disease. But how does a high blood pressure damage the heart and vasculature?
This paper suggests that aortic stiffness plays a role. Another well-conducted analysis in the Hamburg City Health Study.”
