Laws of Arterial Ageing

Dr. Keshaw Kumar

Abstract :

In order to create laws of arterial ageing condition of radial arterial wall was examined, pulse pressure of blood was recorded and changes in tunica medial elastic fies of ascending aorta were observed in physically active persons and mentally active persons of different age groups not suffering from any cardiovascular disease to compare atherosclerotic and ageing changes in these arteries interrelating with their pulse pressure of blood. From 50 to 79 years of age pulse pressure ranged from 42 to 57 mm Hg in persons having increased physical and decreased mental activity while in persons with decreased physical and increased mental activity pulse pressure ranged from 50 to 80 mm Hg. Ageing and atherosclerotic changes in tunica medial elastic fies of ascending aorta and radial arterial wall were absent in all the persons with pulse pressure ranging from 50 to 60 mm Hg. while at the range of 60 to 70 mm Hg pulse pressure ageing and atherosclerotic changes were progressive in the form of high fragmentation of tunica medial elastic fies in ascending aorta and firm radial arterial wall but at the range of 70 to 80 mm Hg pulse pressure ageing and atherosclerotic changes were observed establishing in the form of loss of tunica medial elastic fies in ascending aorta and hard radial arterial wall. On the basis of results obtained in the present study following laws of arterial ageing were created by Dr. Keshaw Kumar. (1) Process of arterial ageing can be controlled but it can not be reversed from old age to young age. (2) Arterial ageing can not occur without arterial atherosclerotic changes exact cause of which is increasing pulse pressure of blood. (3) Decreased physical activity with increased mental activity results into rise in pulse pressure which can be controlled by increased physical activity with decreased mental activity
