  Background: Little is known about the sex-specific differences in predictors of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in metabolic syndrome. One of the novel paradigms include the role of arterial stiffness in the pathogenesis of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. There are some differences in arterial stiffness in patients with metabolic syndrome. We hypothesized that arterial stiffness may play a different role in the etiology of diastolic dysfunction in men and women with metabolic syndrome, acting independently from other established predictors of this condition besides the components of metabolic syndromes, such as age, left ventricular hypertrophy and systolic function. The aim of the study was to analyze the sex-specific differences in arterial stiffness as predictors of diastolic dysfunction in metabolic syndrome. Methods: The stu.. Read More»
