Key result
Hypertensive diabetic patients presented a higher aortic pulse wave velocity index than other patients (P<0.05), with insulin therapy and type 1 diabetes acting as independent positive modulators.
Why the study?
What are the biological and hemodynamic determinants of the aortic pulse wave velocity index in hypertensive and diabetic patients?

Supports PWV index as integrated CV risk marker in hypertension and diabetes; leaves open need for prospective validation.

What are the biological and hemodynamic determinants of the aortic pulse wave velocity index in hypertensive and diabetic patients?
p-value: p=<0.05
The aortic pulse wave velocity index correlates with multiple cardiovascular risk factors, including proteinuria, previous events, and inflammation, suggesting its utility as an integrated marker of cardiovascular risk.
Vallée et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and diabetes (n=514). Hypertension and diabetes vs. Other patients (normotensive and/or without diabetes) was evaluated on Aortic pulse wave velocity (PWV) index (p=<0.05). Hypertensive diabetic patients presented a higher aortic pulse wave velocity index than other patients (P<0.05), with insulin therapy and type 1 diabetes acting as independent positive modulators.
