TL;DR: It is indicated that cfPWV and baPWVs are indices of arterial stiffness that exhibit similar extent of associations with cardiovascular disease risk factors and clinical events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and the Risk Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease: An Individual Participant Data Meta-Analysis.
Toshiaki Ohkuma,Toshiharu Ninomiya,Hirofumi Tomiyama,Kazuomi Kario,Satoshi Hoshide,Yoshikuni Kita,Toyoshi Inoguchi,Yasutaka Maeda,Katsuhiko Kohara,Yasuharu Tabara,Motoyuki Nakamura,Takayoshi Ohkubo,Hirotaka Watada,Masanori Munakata,Mitsuru Ohishi,Norihisa Ito,Michinari Nakamura,Tetsuo Shoji,Charalambos Vlachopoulos,Akira Yamashina +19 more
TL;DR: Measurement of the baPWV could enhance the efficacy of prediction of the risk of development of CVD over that of the Framingham risk score, which is based on the traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utility of automated brachial ankle pulse wave velocity measurements in hypertensive patients.
TL;DR: Although the brachial ankle PWV does not agree with the carotid femoral PWV, this parameter may yet become a new, useful measure for arterial stiffness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambulatory blood pressure of adults in Ohasama, Japan.
Y. Imai,Kenichi Nagai,Mariko Sakuma,Hajime Sakuma,Haruo Nakatsuka,Hiroshi Satoh,Naoyoshi Minami,Masanori Munakata,Junichiro Hashimoto,Toshio Yamagishi +9 more
TL;DR: The age-dependent increase in ambulatory blood pressure was less apparent in men and the 24-hour average pulse rate decreased with age, whereas that of pulse rate decreases with age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Altered circadian blood pressure rhythm in patients with Cushing's syndrome.
Y. Imai,K. Abe,Shuichi Sasaki,Naoyoshi Minami,Minoru Nihei,Masanori Munakata,Osamu Murakami,K Matsue,Hiroshi Sekino,Yukio Miura +9 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the changed circadian blood pressure pattern in patients with Cushing's syndrome is not due to antihypertensive treatment or to the mineralocorticoid excess accompanying this disease, but it is attributable to excess glucocortsicoid or the associated disturbance in the adrenocortiotropic hormone-glucocortICoid system.
