GlossaryArterial Stiffness

reduced elasticity of arteries, affecting blood flow and pressure

Arterial stiffness refers to the reduced elasticity of the arteries, which can make it harder for blood to flow through them. This condition is often associated with aging and can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, as stiffer arteries can lead to higher blood pressure and strain on the heart. For professionals, it's a key indicator of vascular health and can be measured using techniques like pulse wave velocity.
