Carotid artery stiffness mechanisms, heart failure events, and atrial fibrillation in MESA: the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: We evaluated associations between novel components of arterial stiffness: 1) load‐dependent stiffening from higher blood pressure and 2) structural stiffening due to remodeling of the vessel wall and their associations with incident heart failure ( n = 6,278) and atrial fibrillation ( n = 5,292) over ∼17 years of follow-up. We found that both baseline structural and load-dependent stiffness were associated with the development of atrial fibrillation and load-dependent stiffness was associated with heart failure events.
