(Provide a link to the article here.)Arterial stiffness

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

The article does provide a brief overview of arterial stiffness along with information on standard method to measure artery stiffness as well as information on pathophysiology, but it neglects to address some crucial points like changes occurring at the cellular level in vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial dysfunction, which are the main causes of vessel wall hardening. Along with several grammatical problems, it omits references in a few sentences.

The lead part gives a straightforward explanation of what happens in arterial stiffness with sufficient background information, however it fails to mention the introduction sentence that effectively defines the term arterial stiffness.

The article has a decent flow and covers several significant topics, but it is out of date in terms of the most recent pertinent information and data. It lacks illustrations, figures, and citations in a few of places to support the literature. Although the article does not address new developments in the field of stiffness, the sources utilized are trustworthy and come from professional, peer-reviewed studies. However, the reporting is fair and impartial but must be well-balanced.

The article is adequate overall but underdeveloped. Incorporating the most recent research, discoveries, clinical significance, and treatments may enhance the article. Pulse wave velocity, the importance of elements like inflammation and calcification, changes in vascular smooth cells, endothelial dysfunction, the action of chaperone proteins, and the close association with hypertension and diabetes should all be covered
