Aortic pulse wave velocity

1. Aerobic exercise decreases aortic pulse wave velocity in humans (8.47 ± 1.40 vs 8.01 ± 1.06 m/s).

   “HR-targeted training was associated with decreased aortic pulse wave velocity (8.47 ± 1.40 vs 8.01 ± 1.06 m/s; P = .005)”

1. Spermidine decreases aortic pulse wave velocity in mice.

   “Spermidine supplementation normalized aPWV, restored NO-mediated EDD and reduced nitrotyrosine, superoxide, AGEs and collagen in O.”

1. Aortic pulse wave velocity is associated with atrial fibrillation incidence in humans.

   “Lower DC and higher PWV were associated with higher AF incidence only after adjustment for the CHARGE-AF risk-score variables excepting height, weight, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure.”

1. Hypertension is associated with aortic pulse wave velocity in humans (8.7+/-2.3 vs 10.2+/-2.5 m/s).

   “Mean AoPWV was 8.7+/-2.3 m/s in the RVG and 10.2+/-2.5 m/s in the hypertension-diabetes group (P<0.0001).”
