They correlate not only with chronological age, but also...…
View Post 10 min This content is machine translated Mechanisms, evidence and therapeutic consequences GLP-1 receptor agonists in cardiology GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have rapidly evolved from antidiabetic drugs to cardiometabolic therapies with clinically proven reductions in hard cardiovascular endpoints – and increasingly beyond the traditional diabetes population. The...…

View Post 7 min This content is machine translated Arterial elasticity, vascular ageing, endothelial function Longevity and cardiovascular health 2025 Vascular ageing is not a purely “biological” concept, but can be measured clinically – via arterial stiffness (e.g. PWV), endothelial function (e.g. FMD) and the resulting risk profiles. In parallel...…
