چکیده
BACKGROUND The optimal cutoff values of the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) for predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) were examined in patients with hypertension.Methods and Results:A total of 7,656 participants were followed prospectively. The hazard ratio for the development of CVD increased significantly as the baPWV increased, independent of conventional risk factors. The receiver-operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the optimal cutoff values for predicting CVD was 18.3 m/s. This cutoff value significantly predicted THE incidence of CVD. CONCLUSIONS The present analysis suggests that the optimal cutoff value for CVD in patients with hypertension is 18.3 m/s.

The Contribution of Inflammation to the Development of Hypertension Mediated by Increased Arterial Stiffness
BACKGROUND The mechanisms underlying the possible contribution of chronic inflammation to the development of hypertension remain unclear. We examined the longitudinal association of inflammation with the progression of vascular and/or renal abnormalities in the development of hypertension. METHODS AND RESULTS In 3274 middle-aged Japanese men without hypertension at the study baseline, brachia...
متن کاملBrachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a strong predictor for mortality in patients with acute stroke.
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) has been proposed as a simple, noninvasive method for estimating arterial stiffness. Although high baPWV was predictive of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity among general population, its predictive value for mortality in patients with acute stroke is unknown. We evaluated the prognostic value of baPWV in 1765 patients who had been admitted for acu...
متن کاملHigh brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of the presence of coronary artery disease in men.
Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an index of arterial stiffness, and a simple device for measuring brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) has recently been developed. However, the clinical application of baPWV in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remains to be fully evaluated. This cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate whether a higher baPWV predicts the presence of CAD. The baPWV was measu...
متن کاملBrachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Predicts All-Cause Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in Patients With Diabetes: The Kyushu Prevention Study for Atherosclerosis
A total of 4,272 outpatients with diabetes were enrolled in the Kyushu Prevention Study for Atherosclerosis. Of these, 3,628 subjects, excluding those with an ankle-brachial index of <0.9, were prospectively followed for 3.26 2.2 years. The baPWV at baseline was classified by recursive partitioning (RP) for each end point. We plotted the Kaplan-Meier curves for highand low-baPWV groups, which w...

BACKGROUND Recently a new automatic device that measures brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity using an oscillometric method has been developed. However, the practical significance of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity measurement remains uncertain. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity and symptomatic cerebral infarction in patients wi...
