Abstract

A strong body of evidence demonstrates that inflammation plays an important role in arterial stiffening. This chapter explores the relationship between inflammation and arterial stiffness and explains possible mechanisms by which inflammation could lead to arterial stiffening. Also, recent studies, which have investigated the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs for arterial stiffness reduction, will be discussed.
