Sažetak
Each heartbeat generates a pulse wave that travels from the heart through aorta along the arterial tree. Non-invasive devices for pulse wave analysis were developed from the concept that there is hemodynamic information contained in the shape of the arterial pressure pulse, which can be used to supplement the conventional measurement of blood pressure. Although the importance of arterial stiffness as a marker of vascular health has been recognized since the 19th century, European Society of Hypertension/Cardiology guidelines recently included carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity as the indicator of arterial stiffness in the cardiovascular risk assessment. Therefore, therapeutic strategies, which are able to improve arterial stiffness, are needed. According to strong epidemiological evidence, moderate consumption of wine has beneficial effects on human health, particularly on cardiovascular system. Apart from the alcohol itself, polyphenolics are considered mostly responsible for the biological effects of wine, although mechanisms underlying their bioactivity remain largely unknown. Most of published studies investigating the effects of wine consumption on arterial stiffness are focused on acute beverage consumption and hardly comparable regarding differences in study design and protocol. The effects of moderate wine consumption on blood pressure, arterial stiffness and pulse wave reflections in apparently healthy subjects and in patients with type II diabetes mellitus after consumption period of three weeks will be presented and accordingly discussed. The consumption trials were approved by the Ethics Committee, School of Medicine University of Split.
