Abstract:Increased arterial
stiffness is related to early vascular aging
and is an independent predictor for cardiovascular disease and mortality.
Molecular mechanisms underlying increased arterial stiffness are largely
unexplored, especially at the proteome level. We aimed to explore
the relationship between pulse wave velocity and urinary proteomics.
We included 919 apparently healthy (no chronic illnesses) Black and
White men and women (equally distributed) between 20 and 30 years
from the African-PREDICT study. Cap… Show more
