What are the determinants of accelerated progression of arterial stiffness in normotensive and treated hypertensive subjects over a 6-year period?
High blood pressure, heart rate, and serum creatinine are key drivers of accelerated arterial aging in treated hypertensive patients over a 6-year period.
The presence of high blood pressure, high heart rate, and high serum creatinine were the major determinants of accelerated progression of aortic stiffness in treated hypertensives. This is the first longitudinal study to evaluate the determinants of arterial aging over an extended period of time.
