Ambulatory Blood Pressure Phenotypes, Arterial Stiffness, and Cardiac Remodeling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Evidence on the association of arterial stiffness and left ventricular (LV) concentric remodelling/LVH assessed by echocardiography, with abnormal blood pressure (BP) phenotypes, defined by office and ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) in the community is scanty. Thus, we investigated this issue in the participants to the Pressioni Monitorate E Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study.

Methods

The present study included 491 participants who attended the second and third survey of the PAMELA study performed after 10 and 25 years from the initial evaluation. Data collection included medical history, anthropometric parameters, blood examinations, office, ABPM, echocardiographic and Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) measurements.

Results
