- Abstract
We evaluated the clinical significance of the new non-invasive vascular indices to explore their potential utility using repeated cuff-oscillometric inflation. In 250 consecutive outpatients, we performed a cross-sectional, retrospective, single-center, observational study to investigate sequential differences in arterial stiffness using blood pressure, arterial velocity pulse index (AVI), and arterial pressure volume index (API) with repeated measurements. Males accounted for 62.7% of the patients, and the mean age was 68.1 ± 12.1 years. The mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of the first reading in repeated measurements were 133.07 ± 21.20 mmHg and 73.94 ± 13.56 mmHg, respectively. The mean AVI and API were 23.83 ± 8.30 and 31.12 ± 7.86, respectively. In each measurement of these parameters, although DBP and AVI did not show significant changes throughout repeated measurements, SBP and API decreased significantly according to the measurement orders. Furthermore, changes in SBP and API were significantly correlated in several of the models. In this study, it was concluded that upper-arm SBP decline associated with repeated cuff-oscillometric inflation was significantly correlated with the arterial stiffness index. The findings of this study will allow clinicians to easily recognize the progression of atherosclerosis through regular, routine practice. In conclusion, this study suggests that changes in repeated SBP measurements may be predictive of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis.
