Adhesion molecules and arterial stiffness.

Study population	Findings	Reference
110 patients with resistant hypertension and 112 mild to moderate hypertensive patients	sP-selectin and sVCAM-1 were elevated in the presence of arterial stiffness and cardiac hypertrophy	de Faria et al. (34)
63 participants referred for echocardiography	No correlation was demonstrated between indices of aortic stiffness and vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 levels	Kilic et al. (109)
568 Han Chinese healthy persons with an age 30 or older	Plasma vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) was associated with arterial stiffness in older individuals. VAP-1 may be important for vascular aging	Chen et al. (112)
39 patients with peripheral arterial disease and 34 controls	There was an inverse association between endothelial function index and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 in the controls, but not in the patients	Kals et al. (110)
