Pulse Wave Velocity Progression Determinants: No Significant Association with Novel Lipids Parameter.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Whether novel lipid parameters are related to arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity-PWV), changes during follow-up (i.e ΔPWV) has never been evaluated.

Aim

To evaluate the relationship between standard and emerging lipid parameters (non-HDL/HDL, LDL/HDL, total cholesterol/HDL, TG/HDL, Log(TG)/HDL, Log(TG/HDL) and the triglyceride-glucose index [TyG]) and ΔPWV among hypertensive patients.

Methods

We included 469 hypertensive patients enrolled from September 2006 to October 2010 from the Hypertension Unit of San Gerardo Hospital (Monza, Italy). PWV was measured at baseline and after a mean follow-up of 3.8 years (I-III quartiles 3.5-4.2 years) and the relative change (ΔPWV) was calculated.

Results

The study cohort had a mean age of 53.6 ± 12.9 year
