Implication

Age and BP associated with PWV in NIDDM; leaves open whether BP control slows stiffening, needing prospective confirmation.

Key Points

The research aims to identify factors affecting aortic pulse-wave velocity in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
154 patients with NIDDM were randomly selected for analysis.
Measurements of aortic pulse-wave velocity quantified large vessel pathology severity.
Multiple regression analysis identified significant explanatory variables related to pulse-wave velocity.
Age, systolic and diastolic blood pressures significantly correlated with pulse-wave velocity, with age as the most influential variable.
Controlling blood pressure is crucial for managing large vessel pathology in NIDDM patients.

Outcome

Aortic pulse-wave velocitysurrogate

Age and blood pressure are the most significant factors associated with increased aortic pulse-wave velocity in patients with NIDDM, highlighting the importance of blood pressure control to contain large vessel pathology.
