| Abstract | Objective Arterial stiffness and arterial blood pressure (BP) share similar natural history. To which extent the first causes the latter is unknown. Our study describes the development of pulse wave velocity (PWV) and BP in untreated, prehypertensive patients after one year of follow-up. Patients and methods Longitudinal study including 427 consecutive, never-treated patients with suspected hypertension. After standard clinical assessment, including PWV (Sphygmocor®, AtcorMedical), 125 showed normal office and ambulatory BP. According to the median baseline PWV, patients were divided into 2 groups: PWV+ and PWV-. After a median of 1.1 years, clinical assessment was repeated. PWV was adjusted to BP. Results 76 patients were female (60.8%), mean age was 47 years, baseline office and ambulatory BP were 126/76 and 120/77 mmHg, respectively. The PWV- group were significantly younger (40 vs. 52years, p<001), but systolic, diastolic and mean office BP did not differ compared to the PWV+ group. Only ambulatory SBP was significantly different(118 vs. 121, p<0.03). At follow-up, office systolic and MBP were significantly higher in the PWV+ group (129 vs. 123, p<0.01; 97 vs. 93, p<0.02, respectively), difference in ambulatory SBP remained significant (118 vs. 123; p <0.02). Follow-up PWV did not change in the PWV- group (adjusted PWV 6.9 vs. 7.0; p=ns), whereas PWV significantly improved in the PWV+ group (adjusted PWV 9.1 vs. 8.7; p<0.01). Conclusions Measurement of PWV in untreated prehypertensive patients allows to predict development of higher BP values whithin a year, suggesting that arterial stiffness may play a causal role for 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.
