Age-related changes of arterial structure and function in smoking men
Abstract
Arterial structure and function were examined by ultrasound and oscillometry methods in 157 smoking and 45 nonsmoking men aged 20-75 years. In male smokers, increased intima-media thickness of common carotid artery (CCA IMT) was observed from the age of 40 years, and endothelial dysfunction, manifested in reduced endothelium-dependent vasodilatation - from the age of 35-38 years, which is 10 years earlier than in non-smoking males. In smoking men, CCA IMT correlated with age, smoking index, left ventricular myocardial mass index, and pulse wave velocity.
