Abstract

This study investigated whether wave reflection measured by wave intensity analysis predicts future cardiovascular events in individuals with hypertension and sought to establish whether this relationship is independent of other cardiovascular risk factors and is associated with evidence of increased load on the left ventricle. Wave reflection may impose an additional load on the left ventricle, and augmentation index, a surrogate of wave reflection, has been reported to predict cardiovascular events in some, but not all studies. Measurements of brachial and carotid blood pressure (BP) measurement, carotid ultrasound, echocardiography, and blood chemistry analyses were performed on 259 ASCOT (Anglo Scandinavian Cardiac Outcomes Trial) participants approximately 1 year after randomization, and wave intensity analysis was used to calculate wave reflection index (WRI), the ratio of peak forward to peak backward pressure (P(b)/P(f)), and carotid augmentation index (cAI(x)). All participants were followed up for a median period of 5.9 years, accruing 33 cardiovascular events. WRI, P(b)/P(f), and to a lesser extent, cAI(x), were correlated. WRI predicted cardiovascular events (hazard ratio: 2.10; 95% confidence interval: 1.10 to 3.99...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
