Key result
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was a significant and independent predictor of incident hypertension in Japanese normotensive men (adjusted OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.17-1.79; P<0.01).

baPWV may flag hypertension risk in normotensive men; leaves open added predictive value and clinical adoption.

Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) predict incident hypertension in Japanese normotensive male subjects?
Odds Ratio: 1.45 (95% CI 1.17–1.79)
p-value: p=< 0.01
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is an independent predictor of incident hypertension in normotensive men and may serve as a useful screening tool for targeted prevention.
Satoh et al. (2010) conducted a cohort in Normotension (n=2,278). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was evaluated on Incident hypertension (OR 1.45, 95% CI 1.17-1.79, p=< 0.01). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was a significant and independent predictor of incident hypertension in Japanese normotensive men (adjusted OR 1.45; 95% CI 1.17-1.79; P<0.01).
