Uncovering the link between arterial stiffening, high blood pressure and heart and circulatory diseaseKing's College London | Professor Philip Chowienczyk
As we age, the composition of our arteries changes, leading to what researchers and clinicians call ‘stiffening’. This change can cause damaging effects that can increase blood pressure. Over time, this can lead to heart and circulatory dis...
