Vascular Fibrosis in Aging and Hypertension: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Implications
Aging is the primary risk factor underlying hypertension and incident cardiovascular disease. With aging, the vasculature undergoes structural and functional changes characterized by endothelial dysfunction, wall thickening, reduced distensibility, and arterial stiffening. Vascular stiffness results...
