Implication

Arterial stiffness gradient may enable MAP-independent vascular assessment in hypertension; leaves open its added prognostic value in prospective cohorts.

Structured PICO

Population

418 patients, comprising a dialysis cohort (group A, n=304) and a cohort of hypertensive or kidney transplant recipients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate of >45 mL/min/1.73 m2 (group B, n=114).

Outcome

Relationship between mean arterial pressure (MAP) and aortic-brachial pulse wave velocity (PWV) ratiosurrogate

The aortic-brachial pulse wave velocity ratio is independent of mean arterial pressure, suggesting it could serve as a blood pressure-independent measure of vascular aging.
