2. Arterial stiffness - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arterial_stiffness

   Arterial stiffness occurs as a consequence of biological aging, arteriosclerosis and genetic disorders, such as Marfan, Williams, and Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. [1] Inflammation plays a major role in arteriosclerosis and arterial stiffness. [ 2 ]

3. Arteriosclerosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriosclerosis

   Arteriosclerosis, literally meaning "hardening of the arteries", is an umbrella term for a vascular disorder characterized by abnormal thickening, hardening, and loss of elasticity [3] of the walls of arteries; [4] this process gradually restricts the blood flow to one's organs and tissues and can lead to severe health risks brought on by atherosclerosis, which is a specific form of ...

6. Pulse pressure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_pressure

   In hypertensive patients, a high pulse pressure can often be an indicator of conduit artery stiffness (stiffness of the major arteries). [13] When the arterial walls are stiffer (less compliant), the heart has to beat harder to overcome the resistance from the stiff arteries, resulting in an increased pulse pressure. [14]

8. Compliance (physiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliance_(physiology)

   Compliance diminishes with age and menopause. Arterial compliance is measured by ultrasound as a pressure (carotid artery) and volume (outflow into aorta) relationship. [5] Compliance, in simple terms, is the degree to which a container experiences pressure or force without disruption. It is used as an indication of arterial stiffness.

9. Blood vessel disorder - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_vessel_disorder

   Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that supply to the heart for its normal function. Blood vessel disorders occur in coronary arteries would affect cardiac activity. For instance, due to atherosclerosis, the plaque would obstruct and causes ischaemia - the reduction of blood flow through the arteries. Ischaemia would then result in the ...
