Cardiologists and other researchers and practitioners explore unanswered questions about the relationship between arterial rigidity and atherosclerosis. In particular, they ask in which conditions the atherosclerosis process contributes to the development of vascular stiffness and to vascular calcification, each of which is a factor in determining cardiovascular risk and sometimes in modifying therapeutic strategy. They cover the definition and measurement of arterial stiffness, the mechanisms underlying it, its relation with other cardiovascular factors such as diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, and therapeutic approaches to arterial stiffness.
