dc.description.abstract Arterial stiffness (AS) integrates the cumulative burden of known and unknown cardiovascular risk factors on the elastic wall of large arteries along the lifespan of an individual. As a marker of vascular aging, AS is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and improves cardiovascular risk prediction when added to the Framingham Risk Score. In addition, AS may affect the microvasculature and promote the development of microvascular complications. Its impact on both the macro- and microvasculature has led to the concept that the arterial wall itself should be considered as a target organ. Here, we review the biological and clinical consequences of AS on the macro- and microvasculature and the measurement of AS in routine clinical practice. We also discuss the pathophysiological mechanisms underpinning AS development using diabetes and, in particular, type 1 diabetes, as a disease model with a high risk of cardiovascular events and microvascular complications that are accelerated by AS.
