“…Arterial compliance decreases with age and this decrease is accelerated by hypertension. Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), the current 'gold-standard' measure of arterial compliance, has emerged as an important independent predictor of cardiovascular events in hypertensive patients [ 1 ]. Arterial stiffness is associated with an increase in SBP and PP, raising left ventricular afterload and myocardial work, leading to hypertrophy with reduced coronary perfusion, which may result in sub-endocardial ischemia [ 2 ].…”

IntroductionArterial compliance is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events. It decreases with age and this decrease is accelerated by hypertension. The objectives were to determine the arterial compliance in a group of normotensive and untreated hypertensive stage 1, 2 and 3 Cameroonian subjects.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2012 to February 2013 in Yaoundé. Our sample size was 88 participants. The PulsePen® device was used to determine cfPWV (carotid-femoral Pulse Wave Velocity) and central Augmentation Index % (AIx). Other measurements obtained were: blood pressure (BP), body mass index (BMI), fasting glycaemia, lipid profile and serum creatinine.ResultsOur sample's mean age was 35.48 years and ranged from 20 to 60 years. The means of: cfPWV, SBP, DBP, Pulse Pressure (PP) and Heart Rate (HR) showed a statistically significant increase (p-value < 0.05) across the groups from normotensive to severely hypertensive patients. cfPWV was significantly correlated (p-value< 0.05) to: Age, Central SBP, Central DBP, Central PP, HR, BMI and central Augmentation index (AIx). Furthermore, cfPWV was significantly dependent on LVH (p-value <0.05).ConclusionThis study suggests that arterial compliance decreases with increase severity of hypertension, indicating a higher risk of developing cardiovascular events in severely hypertensive patients.

“…In fact, most of CAE patients did have obvious atherosclerosis manifestations in coronary and other vessels: the coronary calcification score, [ 18 , 19 ] the carotid artery intima-media thickness [ 20 – 23 ] and pulse wave velocity [ 24 ] were all significantly increased in CAE patients. As to pathological characteristics in coronary:…”

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) patients were more prone to present with acute myocardial infarction (AMI), this case-control research aimed to explore the underlying factors relating AMI for them. This study investigated a serial of 119 patients who underwent coronary angiography and were diagnosed as CAE between the years 2016 and 2017 at the Beijing Friendship Hospital; 32 of the patients developed AMI and 87 did not develop AMI. The possible factors relating to AMI, including disease history, cardiovascular risk factors, thrombotic condition, inflammation status, and coronary imaging characteristics, were comprehensively compared between CAE patients with and without AMI. CAE patients with AMI had a lower antiplatelet rate, a higher blood low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level, increased neutrophil to lymphocyte (NL) ratio, higher Gensini score, and larger proportions of Markis type II. Logistic regression analysis also indicated that AMI history, lower antiplatelet rate, higher NL ratio, higher low-density lipoprotein cholesterol level and Gensini score, as well as Markis type II were associated with AMI in CAE patients. AMI history, lower antiplatelet treatment rates, poor blood lipid control and higher coronary stenosis extent, higher inflammatory response, and Markis type II were closely related to the incidence of AMI in CAE patients.
