Arterial rigidity assessment may refine cerebrovascular risk stratification; leaves open whether targeted interventions improve outcomes.
Arterial rigidity (AR) is an independent cardiovascular risk factor. The strategy for primary and secondary prevention of cerebrovascular diseases involves correction of risk factors, modification of lifestyle, and the use of antihypertensive and antithrombotic agents and statins. AR whose correction is associated with a better cardiovascular prognosis is considered to be a particular therapeutic target. Positive changes in blood supply to tissues in increased AR may be also achieved with the use of drugs improving blood rheological properties.
