ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the correlation between the arterial compliance and insulin resistance in the prehypertensive people.Methods 30 healthy persons,36 prehypertensive persons and 46 hypertensive patients were measured Cl and C2 using CVProfilor DO-2020 and determined insulin sensitivity with HOMA-IR.Results Adjusted for the age and the course of disease,C1 and C2 decreased in hypertensive patients compared with that of the healthy and prehypertensive people(P<0.05);C2 decreased in prehypertensive people compared with the healthy groups(P<0.05).HOMA-IR increased in hypertensive patients and prehypertensive people compared with the healthy groups(P<0.05).There was significant correlation between HOMA-IR and C2 in prehypertensive people.Conclusion Small arterial compliance decrease and insulin resistance can be found with negatively correlation in prehypertensive people.
