Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NRF2 promoter with vascular stiffness with aging.

Association of single nucleotide polymorphisms in the NRF2 promoter with vascular stiffness with aging.

PURPOSE:Pulse wave velocity (PWV), an indicator of vascular stiffness, increases with age and is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although many mechanical and chemical factors underlie the stiffness of the elastic artery, genetic risk factors re...
