Gender Difference in Arterial Stiffness in a Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study: The Korean Arterial Aging Study (KAAS)
In conclusion, arterial stiffness is mainly determined by sex, age, and blood pressure. Markers of arterial stiffness differ between men and women. Dyslipidemia and glucose contribute to a modest increase in arterial stiffness only in women. Therefore, the arteries of women may be more vulnerable to CV risk factors than those of men.Pulse 2014;2:11-17 (Source: Pulse)

Role of Pulse Wave Velocity in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3-5 on Long-Term Follow-Up
Conclusion: With moderate progression of renal dysfunction and under well-controlled blood pressure, peripheral but not central arterial stiffness is possibly one of the strongest predictors of CVD in patients with CKD stages 3-5.Pulse 2014;2:1-10 (Source: Pulse)

Common Carotid Artery Stiffness Is Associated with Left Ventricular Structure and Function and Predicts First Hospitalization for Acute Heart Failure
Conclusions: In patients at risk for heart failure, CCA stiffness was significantly associated with LV structure and function independently of cf-PWV. In addition, CCA stiffness but not cf-PWV predicted first AHF.Pulse 2014;2:18-28 (Source: Pulse)

Decline of Renal Function and Progression of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy Are Independently Determined in Chronic Kidney Disease Stages 3-5
Conclusion: Worsening of renal dysfunction is not solely dependent on hemodynamics. Other factors might be involved in a complex manner.Pulse 2014;2:29-37 (Source: Pulse)
