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. This book also: Overviews the cellular and molecular mechanisms of arterial stiffness Discusses the implications of arterial stiffness in target organ damage. 000737568 588__ $$aOnline resource ; title from PDF title page (viewed December 10, 2015). 000737568 650_0 $$aArteriosclerosis. 000737568 7001_ $$aBerrones, Adam J.,$$eauthor. 000737568 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aFleenor, Bradley S.$$tArterial Stiffness : Implications and Interventions$$dCham : Springer International Publishing,c2015$$z9783319248424 000737568 830_0 $$aSpringerBriefs in physiology. 000737568 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000737568 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-24844-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000737568 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:737568$$pGLOBAL_SET 000737568 980__ $$aEBOOK 000737568 980__ $$aBIB 000737568 982__ $$aEbook 000737568 983__ $$aOnline 000737568 994__ $$a92$$bISE
