Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention

Cardiovascular Health and Disease Prevention is a research topic within Cardiology and Cardiovascular Medicine. Science Explorer counts 40k research works in it since 1950. 16.5% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the assessment, impact, and clinical implications of arterial stiffness and endothelial dysfunction in relation to cardiovascular health. It explores the use of various techniques such as pulse wave velocity, carotid intima-media thickness, and brachial artery assessment to predict cardiovascular events and mortality. The papers also discuss the association between arterial stiffness, hypertension, and vascular aging, emphasizing the importance of central blood pressure in assessing cardiovascular risk.
