Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity Is an Independent Risk Factor for Microalbuminuria in Patients with Essential Hypertension-A Japanese Trial on the Prognostic Implication of Pulse Wave Velocity (J-TOPP)
Abstract
Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is a new measure of arterial stiffness. The clinical significance of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity as a measure of early vascular damage remains unclear. We examined the hypothesis that higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is associated with a much greater risk of albuminuria by employing a cohort of 718 never-treated hypertensive patients registered in a prospective study. The 718 patients consisted...
