Arterial stiffness, a leading marker of risk in hypertension, can be measured at material or structural levels, with the latter combining effects of the geometry and composition of the wall, including intramural organization. Numerous studies have shown that structural stiffness predicts outcomes in models that adjust for conventional risk factors. Elastic arteries, nearer to the heart, are most sensitive to effects of blood pressure and age, major determinants of stiffness. Stiffness is usually considered as an index of vascular aging, wherein individuals excessively affected by risk factor exposure represent early vascular aging, whereas those resistant to risk factors represent supernormal vascular aging. Stiffness affects the function of the brain and kidneys by increasing pulsatile loads within their microvascular beds, and the heart by increasing left ventricular systolic load; excessive pressure pulsatility also decreases diastolic pressure, necessary for coronary perfusion. Stiffness promotes inward remodeling of small arteries, which increases resistance, blood pressure, and in turn, central artery stiffness, thus creating an insidious feedback loop. Chronic antihypertensive treatments can reduce stiffness beyond passive reductions due to decreased blood pressure. Preventive drugs, such as lipid-lowering drugs and antidiabetic drugs, have additional effects on stiffness, independent of pressure. Newer anti-inflammatory drugs also have blood pressure independent effects. Reduction of stiffness is expected to confer benefit beyond the lowering of pressure, although this hypothesis is not yet proven. We summarize different steps for making arterial stiffness measurement a keystone in hypertension management and cardiovascular prevention as a whole.
