Increased aortic stiffness and elevated blood pressure in response to exercise in adult survivors of prematurity

Increased aortic stiffness and elevated blood pressure in response to exercise in adult survivors of prematurity

Abstract Objectives Adults born prematurely have an increased risk of early heart failure. The impact of prematurity on left and right ventricular function has been well documented, but little is known about the impact on the systemic vasculature. The goals of this study were to measure aortic stiff...
