Key result
Arterial ageing, characterized by medial degeneration and increased stiffness, is accelerated by oxidative stress, inflammation, and hypertension, and may be mitigated by targeting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and laminopathy pathways.

Arterial Ageing
This review highlights that arterial ageing, measured by arterial stiffness, is accelerated by modifiable risk factors like hypertension and inflammation, suggesting that RAAS inhibitors and novel molecular targets may offer protective effects.
Cite This Study
Lee et al. (2013) conducted a review in Arterial Ageing. Arterial ageing, characterized by medial degeneration and increased stiffness, is accelerated by oxidative stress, inflammation, and hypertension, and may be mitigated by targeting the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and laminopathy pathways.
