Reproducibility of the ambulatory arterial stiffness index in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND We studied the repeatability of the ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), which can be computed from 24-h blood pressure (BP) recordings as unity minus the regression slope of diastolic on systolic BP. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two hypertensive outpatients recruited in Nijmegen (mean age = 46.2 years; 76.3% with systolic and diastolic hypertension) and 145 patients enroll...
متن کاملComments on the reproducibility of Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index and QKD.
We read with interest the manuscript of Matsui et al. [1] about the effect of doxazosin on the left ventricular structure and function in morning hypertensive patients in a Japanese population. In this study, 223 morning hypertensive patients were randomized into either the doxazosin group, with a once-daily bedtime dose of doxazosin, or the control group, who continued their current medication...

متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: determinants and outcome.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that one minus the slope of diastolic on systolic blood pressure in individual 24-h ambulatory blood pressure recordings (ambulatory arterial stiffness index) might reflect arterial stiffness and predict cardiovascular mortality. METHODS In volunteers and a population recruited in China, we studied concordance between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and establis...
متن کاملAmbulatory arterial stiffness index: rationale and methodology.
OBJECTIVES Increased arterial stiffness is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and may even predict its development at an early stage. Increased pulse pressure is seen as a marker of increased arterial stiffness and can be readily measured by ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. We propose another surrogate measure of arterial stiffness derived from ambulatory blood press...
