Arterial stiffness, reflected by a hight pulse4 wave velocity (PWV), is suspected to be an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. patients with hypertention often have increased arterial stiffness, but it is unknown if a causal relationshipexist between the two.
The present longitudinal study shows that accelerated arterial aging in treated hypertensive subjects is in large measure explained by uncontroled blood pressure levels, high HR (heart rate), and altered renal function. controlling blood pressure and lowering HR could reduce age related progression of arterial stiffness.
