Mechanisms, pathophysiology, and therapy of arterial stiffness.

Arterial stiffness is a growing epidemic associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, dementia, and death. Decreased compliance of the central vasculature alters arterial pressure and flow dynamics and impacts cardiac performance and coronary perfusion. This article reviews the structural, cellular, and genetic contributors to arterial stiffness, including the roles of the scaffolding proteins, extracellular matrix, inflammatory molecules, endothelial cell function, and reactive oxidant species. Additional influences of atherosclerosis, glucose regulation, chronic renal disease, salt, and changes in neurohormonal regulation are discussed. A review of the hemodynamic impact of arterial stiffness follows. A number of lifestyle changes and therapies that reduce arterial stiffness are presented, including weight loss, exercise, salt reduction, alcohol consumption, and neuroendocrine-directed therapies, such as those targeting the renin-angiotensin aldosterone system, natriuretic peptides, insulin modulators, as well as novel therapies that target advanced glycation end products.

[Experience in IVR performed using a posture support device designed especially for a patient unable to take the decubitus position].

We were requested to perform IVR for uterine artery embolotherapy of a patient who was unable to take the decubitus position. Because of extreme overweight, the patient was limited to a sitting posture on a bed in the living environment. Therefore, a device to support her sitting posture on the IVR patient table was designed and created. The support device was used to hold the patient's body in a half-sitting posture and distribute her weight load appropriately so that the weight load applied to the patient's body could be minimized. Using this support device, IVR could be performed smoothly during a period of 2 hours 40 minutes.
