- Recommendations for Improving and Standardizing Vascular Research on Arterial Stiffness (2015, positive): “Aortic stiffening is also associated with increased risk for large-vessel stroke, either ischemic or hemorrhagic.(98,99) This may be mediated through atherosclerosis, with increased stiffness contributing to both atherogenesis and risk for plaque rupture(100); through atrial enlargement and fibrosis”
