Abstract

Carbohydrate disorders are important and independent risk factor for cardiovascular system diseases. Increased values of pulse pressure are an independent risk factor for cardiovascular complications and total mortality. The aim of the study was to evaluate the pulse pressure in subjects with carbohydrate disorders. The study comprised 112 subjects with carbohydrate disorders (54 females and 58 males), aged 30-78 (57.4 +/- 9.6) years. Carbohydrate disorders were diagnosed according to the Polish Diabetes Association criteria from 2007 (group 1). 56 subjects had impaired fasting glucose (IFG), 36--impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and 20--type 2 diabetes. Comparative group comprised 30 subjects without cardiovascular diseases and carbohydrate disorders (15 females and 15 males), aged 29-64 (52.7,4 +/- 8.8) years (group II). The fasting serum glucose level was evaluated using an enzymatic method, Kone-Pro biochemical analyzer and bioMérieux Glucose RTU kit. In subjects with fasting glucose level > or = 100 mg/dl, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. In all subjects 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring with oscillometric method, using boso-TM-2430PL system (Bosch+Sohn, Germany). Pulse pressure (pp) was evaluate...Continue Reading
