Key result
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was independently and negatively associated with left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive subjects (p = 0.004).
Why the study?
Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity correlate with left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive subjects?
Cross-Sectional (n=84)
Does brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity correlate with left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive subjects?
p-value: p=0.004
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is significantly correlated with left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive subjects, suggesting it may serve as an early noninvasive indicator of LV dysfunction.

baPWV was associated with impaired LV diastolic function in hypertension; hypothesis-generating for early noninvasive monitoring, needs prospective validation.
Wang et al. (2009) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension (n=84). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (b-a PWV) vs. Nonhypertensive subjects was evaluated on Left ventricular diastolic function (Em(av)) (p=0.004). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was independently and negatively associated with left ventricular diastolic function in hypertensive subjects (p = 0.004).
