Peripheral Augmentation Index is Associated With the Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index in Patients With Hypertension
BACKGROUND Vascular dysfunction is highly prevalent if not ubiquitous in patients with hypertension. We compared two different measures of vascular function obtained from digital volume waveforms with measures of ventricular-vascular load derived from 24-hour blood pressure (BP) recordings in patients with hypertension. METHODS Digital pulsatile volume waveforms were captured via plethysmogra...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index, pulse wave velocity and augmentation index--interchangeable or mutually exclusive measures?
BACKGROUND The ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) has been proposed as a novel measure of arterial stiffness and has been prospectively shown to predict stroke and cardiovascular death, but not cardiac death. This index has prompted considerable controversy as to whether it is a true measure of arterial stiffness. OBJECTIVE AND METHODS The present study aimed to examine three differen...
متن کاملExploration of association of 1,25-OH2D3 with augmentation index, a composite measure of arterial stiffness.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Abnormalities in mineral metabolism [calcium, phosphate, and immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (PTH)] and vitamin D have been linked to increases in central arterial stiffness. Central arterial stiffness can be measured using noninvasive technologies, including augmentation index (AIx), a composite measure of arterial stiffness. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, AND ME...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: determinants and outcome.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that one minus the slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-h ambulatory blood pressure recordings (ambulatory arterial stiffness index) might reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular mortality. METHODS In volunteers and a population recruited in China, we studied concordance between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and establis...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: rationale and methodology.
OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and may even predict its development at an early stage. Increased pulse pressure is seen as a marker of increased arterial stiffness and can be readily measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. We propose another surrogate measure of arterial stiffness derived from ambulatory blood press...
