ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the relationship between serum of type Ⅲ collagen and arterial compliance in hypertensive patients.Methods One hundred fifty-eight in-patients of hypertension were enrolled.All subjects underwent laboratory measurements including serum PⅢNP,blood-lipid,glucose and high sensitivity C-reactive protein.Carotid to femoral pulse wave velocity(PWVcf),C1 and C2 were measured by a Complior Colson device and DO-2020.Results(1)PWVcf positively correlated with serum PⅢNP(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the vascular compliance markers (C1 and C2) and pulse wave velocity in relative with other physiological indexes in a cohort of young normotensive people in Beijing. Methods Two hundred and seventy normotensive volunteers (112 men and 158 women aged 16 to 30 years) were invovled,completed questionnaires of demographic information. Large (C1) and small (C2) arterial compliance were derived from arterial pulse wave contour analysis. Pulse wave velocity(carotid-femoral PWV and carotid-radial PWV)was determined by Complior SP. Results In both male and female C1 correlated positively with height and weight,and negatively with systolic(SBP),mean arterial blood pressure(MAP),pulse pressure(PP),and heart rate(HR),in which PP showed the best correlation with C1;C2 was inversely related with SBP,diastolic blood pressure(DBP),MAP and HR,in which SBP showed the best correlation with C2;cfPWV correlated positively with DBP and age,crPWV correlated positively with age,DBP,height and weight. Conclusion Blood pressure,heart rate were the important influential factors of large and small arterial compliance in both males and females,while diastolic blood pressure was determinant for pulse wave velocity.
