Abstract
Arterial ageing is a key mechanism underling the development and progression of cardiovascular (CV) and other diseases. New technologies allow the non-invasive assessement of various biomechanical and biological aspects of arterial ageing. We discuss a few major factors in respect to arterial ageing pathophysiology, methods of assessment and some important nutritional and life-style parameters that substantially affect arterial ageing.
