Arterial ageing is a key mechanism underling the development and progression of cardiovascular (CV) and other diseases. New technologies allow the non-invasive assessement of various biomechanical and biological aspects of arterial ageing. We discuss a few major factors in respect to arterial ageing pathophysiology, methods of assessment and some important nutritional and life-style parameters that substantially affect arterial ageing.
动脉老化是心血管(CV)和其他疾病发展和进展的关键机制。新技术可以无创评估动脉老化的各种生物力学和生物学方面。我们讨论了动脉老化病理生理学、评估方法以及一些重要的营养和生活方式参数中的几个主要因素,这些因素对动脉老化有很大影响。
