There was no significant correlation between the difference of inter-arm systolic blood pressure and ABI (r = 0.021, p = 0.801) or baPWV (r = 0.115, p = 0.158).

Why the study?

Is inter-arm blood pressure difference associated with atherosclerosis markers (ABI and baPWV) in patients without cardiovascular disease?

Population

153 patients aged 18 years or older without cardiovascular disease, mean age 52.8 ± 9.9 years.

Comparison

Inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference > 5… vs Inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference < 5…

Design

Cross-sectional

Overview

Inter-arm SBP difference showed no correlation with ABI or baPWV; leaves open its role as atherosclerosis marker in primary prevention.

Structured PICO

Is inter-arm blood pressure difference associated with atherosclerosis markers (ABI and baPWV) in patients without cardiovascular disease?

P
Population
153 patients (116 men, 37 women) aged 18 years or older without cardiovascular disease, mean age 52.8 ± 9.9 years.
I
Intervention
Inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference > 5 mm Hg (measured simultaneously)
C
Comparator
Inter-arm systolic blood pressure difference < 5 mm Hg
O
Outcome
Correlation between inter-arm blood pressure difference and ankle brachial index (ABI) and brachial ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)surrogate

In patients without cardiovascular disease, simultaneous measurement of inter-arm blood pressure difference did not significantly correlate with markers of atherosclerosis (ABI and baPWV).
