| Abstract | Introduction Hypertension is a major risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Arterial stiffness is a risk predictor of CVD in this patient group. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the development of arterial stiffness. Haptoglobin (Hp) and homocysteine (Hcy) are well documented markers of oxidative stress. We hypothesized that Hp and Hcy are associated with arterial stiffness in never treated incident hypertensive patients. Methods and Material We examined 125 patients with newly diagnosed never treated hypertension. Patients had 24h ambulatory blood pressure (BP) measurement (Spacelabs Healthcare®, Hertford, UK) performed and were eligible if daytime BP was ≥ 135/85 mmHg. Arterial stiffness expressed as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), augmentation index at heart rate 75 (AIx@75), and central systolic blood pressure (cenBP) were measured with the SphygmoCor® device (Atcor Medical®, Sydney, Australia). Hp and Hcy were determined using rate nephelometry (Beckmann IMMAGETM, DK). Results Patient baseline characteristics are shown in the Table. In a univariate correlation Hp showed a weak association with AIx@75 (r=0.16, p=0.04) which in an adjusted regression model remained significant (r2 =0.45, p=0.02). Hp was not associated with cfPWV or cenBP nor was there any association between Hcy and cfPWV, AIx@75, and cenBP. Conclusion Only Hp was associated with arterial stiffness (AIx@75) whereas no other associations were found. Thus, Hcy appear not to be associated with arterial stiffness in hypertension and further studies are warranted to elucidate the role of Hp as a risk marker in hypertension. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
