Arterial Disorders

Abstract

Given the prognostic role of arterial stiffness and central hemodynamics [1–4], a large body of research has focused on the recognition of lifestyle interventions that may either worsen arterial function, and thus, they should be prohibited or at least discouraged, or exert favorable effects, and, consequently, they should be encouraged.
