Risk Factors for Arterial Stiffness in Elderly Patients with Essential Hypertension / 中华高血压杂志

ABSTRACT

12 m/s group,n=70;cfPWV≤12 m/s group,n=49). Carotid atheromatous plaque was assessed by Doppler echocardiograph;blood pressure and hemoglobin A1c were measured. Results After adjustment for body mass index (BMI),sex,stroke and fasting blood glucose,logistic multivariable analysis showed that cfPWV associated with age,systolic blood pressure(SBP),pulse pressure,coronary artery disease,diabetes,carotid atheromatous plaque and hemoglobin A1c. Conclusion Arterial stiffness in elderly patients with essential hypertension was strongly positively associated with age,SBP,pulse pressure,coronary artery disease,diabetes,carotid atheromatous plaque and hemoglobin A1c.
