“…Although CAVI measures arterial stiffness, CAVI is different from aortic pulse wave velocity as CAVI reflects the stiffness of the aorta, femoral artery and tibial artery as a whole. 22 Recently, 'pulmonary age' has been proposed by the Japanese Respiratory Society in order to diagnose COPD. 23 Pulmonary age is determined based on the pulmonary function test, including the forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV 1 .…”

Arterial stiffness, assessed by cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), is clinically used to assess arteriosclerosis. Recently, pulmonary age, as determined by pulmonary function test, has been proposed by the Japanese Respiratory Society as a diagnostic measure for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). This study aims to examine the association between CAVI and pulmonary function and to elucidate the correlation between vascular stiffness and pulmonary age in hypertensive patients. We enrolled a total of 45 hypertensive patients (70 ± 9 years) who had been taking antihypertensive medications for at least 1 year. Pulmonary function was measured by the percentage of predicted forced vital capacity (FVC) and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV 1 ) to FVC (FEV 1 /FVC ratio). Pulmonary age was determined by the equation proposed by the Japanese Respiratory Society. CAVI was measured at the same clinic visit. In the simple correlation analysis CAVI correlated with the FEV 1 /FVC ratio (r¼À0.399, P¼0.007) and pulmonary age (r¼0.559, Po0.001). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that CAVI was independently associated with FEV 1 /FVC ratio (b¼À0.418, P¼0.014) and pulmonary age (b¼0.514, P¼0.002). In addition, CAVI was significantly higher in patients with increased pulmonary age (9.4 ± 1.4) than in those with normal pulmonary age (8.4 ± 0.9) (P¼0.011). The present study indicates that an increased CAVI is independently associated with reduced pulmonary function and increased pulmonary age. Hypertensive patients with high CAVI may need to be monitored for the progression of COPD.

“…Our data demonstrated for the first time that aortic stiffness as assessed by CAVI was also associated with the plasma BNP level. As CAVI is influenced by pulse wave velocity (PWV), CAVI is correlated with PWV to some degree; however, CAVI is different from PWV, especially in patients with increased arterial stiffness 25) . Therefore, the present study confirms the feasibility of using CAVI to assess arterial stiffness by comparing it to the plasma BNP level.…”

Aims: Plasma brain natriuteric peptide (BNP) is an established marker of cardiovascular events in individuals without heart failure. Although the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is clinically used as a parameter of arterial stiffness, its usefulness for predicting cardiovascular events has not been fully examined. This study aimed to evaluate the association among CAVIs, plasma BNP levels and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and dysfunction in hypertensive patients. Methods: We enrolled 136 hypertensive patients (69 10 years) who had been taking antihypertensive medications for at least one year. Echocardiography was performed to evaluate LV hypertrophy and function. Plasma BNP levels and CAVIs were also measured simultaneously.

“…It is recognized that obesity and metabolic variables are related to the increase in the intima-media thickness of blood vessels3 - 5. Therefore, in clinical settings, vessel intima-media thickness has been used as a tool to screen for vascular injury6 and cardiovascular diseases7. Moreover, greater carotid intima-media thickness (CIT) is related to stroke, myocardial infarction8, and atherosclerosis9 , 10.…”

Background: It is unclear whether early physical activity has a greater influence on intima-media thickness and metabolic variables than current physical activity. Objective:To analyze the relationship between current and early physical activity, metabolic variables, and intima-media thickness measures in adults. Method:The sample was composed of 55 healthy subjects of both sexes (33 men and 22 women). Total body fat and trunk fat were estimated by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Carotid and femoral intima-media thickness were measured using a Doppler ultrasound device. A 12-hour fasting blood sample collection was taken (fasting glucose and lipid profile). Early physical activity was assessed through face-to-face interview, and the current physical activity was assessed by pedometer (Digi-Walker Yamax, SW200), which was used for a period of seven days. Results:Current physical activity was negatively related to total cholesterol (rho=-0.31), while early physical activity was negatively related to triglycerides (rho=-0.42), total cholesterol (rho=-0.28), very low density lipoprotein (rho=-0.44), and carotid intima-media thickness (rho=-0.50). In the multivariate model, subjects engaged in sports activities during early life had lower values of very low density lipoprotein (b=-8.74 [b=-16.1; -1.47]) and carotid intima-media thickness (b=-0.17 [95%CI: -0.28; -0.05]). Conclusion:Early 95%CI physical activity has a significant influence on carotid intima-media thickness, regardless of the current physical activity.
