Is higher aortic stiffness associated with an increased risk of incident hypertension?
Cohort (no further details provided)
Higher aortic stiffness, forward wave amplitude (FWA), and augmentation index (exposure)
Incident hypertension and progressive aortic stiffeninghard clinical
Aortic stiffness appears to precede and predict incident hypertension, whereas initial blood pressure does not independently predict progressive aortic stiffening.
In this cohort, higher aortic stiffness, FWA, and augmentation index were associated with higher risk of incident hypertension; however, initial blood pressure was not independently associated with risk of progressive aortic stiffening.
