The role of abnormal metabolic conditions on arterial stiffness in healthy subjects with no drug treatment

Abstract: BackgroundSubjects with abnormal metabolic conditions had increased risk for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the role of abnormal metabolic conditions on arterial stiffness in healthy subjects with no drug treatment.MethodsA total 601 subjects (age 48.7 ± 11.8 years, male 46.2 %, hypertension 19.1 %) were enrolled. Major cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic conditions and parameters (pre-diabetes, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, fasting blood sugar (FBS), glycated hemoglobin), lipid profiles, … Show more

“…It is well-known that age and hypertension are the main causes of arterial stifness [7]. Additionally, Hwang et al [8] have showed that, regardless of age and blood pressure (BP), patients with diabetes mellitus had higher PWV, whereas patients with prediabetes had similar PWV when compared to subjects with normal fasting blood glucose. Moreover, a recent study observed that small changes in fasting glycaemia in metabolic syndrome patients free of diabetes and hypertension are associated with vascular impairment [9].…”

“…It is well-established that age and hypertension are the main causes of arterial stiffness [ 20 ]. Additionally, Hwang et al [ 21 ] have found that, regardless of age and blood pressure (BP), subjects with diabetes mellitus had higher PWV, whereas subjects with prediabetes had similar PWV when compared to subjects with normal fasting blood glucose. Moreover, we have recently observed that small changes in fasting glycaemia in MetS patients free of diabetes and hypertension are associated with vascular impairment [ 22 ].…”

“…Currently, many studies have explored the relationship between HbA1c and risk of arterial stiffness, but studies comparing the effect of HbA1c, FBG, PBG, and TyG index on arterial stiffness were sparse. Additionally, most of the studies were cross-sectional (15,16), and the results were inconsistent (4,20,21). Repeated measurement of glucose parameters was not fully considered, and the predictive ability of these parameters for arterial stiffness was not clarified and compared.…”
