Does not support routine baPWV use in SLE; leaves open its prognostic value pending longitudinal data.
Cross-Sectional (n=83)
In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, vascular stiffness measured by baPWV is independently associated with age and systolic blood pressure.
Tso et al. (2005) conducted a cross-sectional in Systemic lupus erythematosus (n=83). Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was evaluated on Association with cardiovascular risk factors (age, BMI, SBP, DBP, FBS, TBARS, homocysteine). In patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was independently associated with age and systolic blood pressure.
