Background: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) is an independent predictor of cardiovascular events and its measurement is recommended by current hypertension guidelines. Few data are available on the progression of PWV over time. The aim of the present study was to assess the progression of aortic stiffness over a 5-year period in a general population in Northern Italy (Vobarno Study). Methods: 227 subjects,42% males(age 50±4 years, hypertension in 51% at baseline visit, BL), underwent a BL and a follow up (FU) visit, after 5.1±0.4 years. In all subjects laboratory examinations, measurement of clinic and 24 hours blood pressure(BP) and of cfPWV were performed at BL and at FU. Results: In the overall population cfPWV increased from 8.28±1.27 at BL to 8.51±3.2 m/s at FU(p |
