Is baseline brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity associated with the risk of new-onset diabetes in hypertensive patients?
Baseline brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity may serve as a predictor for the development of new-onset diabetes in patients with hypertension.
In this sample of hypertensive patients, we found a significant positive association between baseline baPWV and the risk of new-onset diabetes. Clinical trial registration Trial registration: NCT00794885 (clinicaltrials.gov). Retrospectively registered November 20, 2008.
