Key result
The Early Vascular Aging Ambulatory score (EVAAs) was developed using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters and cardiovascular risk factors to identify early vascular aging.
Why the study?
Measuring c-f PWV is difficult, time-consuming, and expensive in clinical practice, and few studies show which blood pressure measurement method best predicts arterial stiffness.
Does ABPM better predict arterial stiffness and early vascular aging compared to other blood pressure measurement methods in hypertensive patients?

EVAAs may aid early vascular aging detection in hypertension care without PWV; leaves open prospective validation and outcome prediction.
Does ABPM better predict arterial stiffness and early vascular aging compared to other blood pressure measurement methods in hypertensive patients?
ABPM is superior for predicting arterial stiffness, and the newly proposed EVAAs score may help identify early vascular aging in everyday clinical practice without requiring complex pulse wave velocity measurements.
Antza et al. (2019) conducted a review in Hypertension. Early Vascular Aging Ambulatory score (EVAAs) was evaluated. The Early Vascular Aging Ambulatory score (EVAAs) was developed using ambulatory blood pressure monitoring parameters and cardiovascular risk factors to identify early vascular aging.
