Arterial Stiffening Precedes Systolic Hypertension in Diet-induced Obesity

Stiffening of conduit arteries is a risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity. Aortic wall stiffening increases pulsatile hemodynamic forces that are detrimental to the microcirculation in highly perfused organs such as the heart, brain and kidney. Arterial stiffness is associated with hypertension b...
