Association between measurements of arterial stiffness and target organ damage in a general Spanish population

Figure 1.. Estimated average and standard deviation of cf-PWV, ba-PWV and CAVI in subjects with and without vascular and renal TOD, and LVH. p-value: differences among groups. TOD: target organ damage; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy; cf-PWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; ba-PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; CAVI: cardio-ankle vascular index.

Figure 2.. Estimated average and standard deviation of cf-PWV, ba-PWV and CAVI in subjects with and without vascular and renal TOD, and LVH. Adjusted for age (years) and sex (0= female, 1 = male). p-value: differences among groups. TOD: target organ damage; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy; cf-PWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; ba-PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; CAVI: cardio-ankle vascular index.

Figure 3.. A. Logistic regression analysis adjusted by age (years), smoking (years), sex, alcohol (gr), total physical activity (hour/week) and Mediterranean Diet (points), OR of cf-PWV, ba-PWV and CAVI with vascular and renal TOD, and LVH. B. Logistic regression analysis adjusted by age (years), smoking (years), sex, alcohol (gr), total physical activity (hour/week), Mediterranean Diet (points), SBP (mmHg), BMI (kg/m2), FPG (mg/dl) and triglycerides (mg/dl), OR of cf-PWV, ba-PWV and CAVI with vascular and renal TOD, and LVH. TOD: target organ damage; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy;cf-PWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; ba-PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; CAVI: cardio-ankle vascular index.

Figure 4.. Receiver operating curve of cf-PWV, ba-PWV and CAVI to identify vascular TOD (a), LVH (b) and renal TOD (c). Areas under the ROC curves are summarised in Table 4. TOD: target organ damage; LVH: left ventricular hypertrophy; cf-PWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity; ba-PWV: brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; CAVI: cardio-ankle vascular index.
