“…In fact, the most important factor contributing to increased aortic PWV is age, as in our study, because of a decrease in arterial elasticity caused by decrease in elastin fiber, and increase in collagenous material [7]. In addition to the age, PWV also depends on BP level that becomes increased at high BP and decreased at low BP; however, different correlations can be seen [14,15].…”

“…The mortality of RA patients has remained high even if the standardized mortality ratio of the general population improvements has improved over the years and that might have been the of the most important discoveries over the past twenty years. This inf lammation becomes an important factor of the initiation or the progression of atherosclerosis due to impairing endothelial function, arterial compliance and arterial elasticity [12]. Some studies have discovered that RA patients have their arterial elasticity reduced [12,13].…”

Aim. Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases (CID), such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) are more likely to have higher risk of cardiac events. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) can be used to measure the aortic dis-tensibility and it is known as inversely related to the arterial compliance. Increased aortic stiffness which is assessed by PWV, is seem to be associated with arterial blood pressure. In this study, we investigated the arterial compliance by PWV in patients with CID including RA and FMF.Material and methods. We studied 25 patients with RA, 33 patients with FMF and 31 healthy subjects without a history of any cardiovascular risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidaemia (89 subjects in total). We measured the arterial compliance by automatic carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV using Complior Colson (France) device. PWV (m/s) = distance (m)/transit time(s).Results. It is seen that, patients with CID have higher carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV (8,76±2,09 vs 8,07±0,94 m/s) compared to control groups (p=0,03). There were significant correlations between PWV and age, body-mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean blood pressure. (p<0,001, r=0,65; p<0,001, r=0,36; p<0,001, r=0,42; p<0,001, r=0,46; p<0,001, r=0,48, respectively).Conclusion. Arterial compliance, which is assessed by carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV, is decreased in patients with CID such as RA and FMF when it is compared to healthy control group.

“…Age is the most important factor that contributes to increased aortic PWV in our study. At the same time, many studies have investigated the effects of different factors, such as sex, weight, height, blood pressure, heart rate, inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein, and also age on PWV (4,(10)(11)(12) . Since the most important factor is age, decrease arterial elasticity caused by decrease in elastin fiber and increase in collagenous material are related with advanced age (4) .…”

Introduction: Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare chronic disorder. The predominant histopathological lesion is vasculitis. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a marker of aortic stiffness and inversely related to arterial distensibility, elasticity, or relative arterial compliance. The aim of the present study was to investigate the arterial elasticity using PWV in patients with BD. Patients and Methods: A total of 25 patients with BD (21 male) and 21 healthy subjects (10 male) without known traditional cardiovascular risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperlipidemia, were studied. The mean time of disease duration was 3.6 ± 2.5 (1-10) years. Arterial elasticity was assessed by automatic carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV measurement by the Complior Colson (France) device. PWV is calculated by the following formula: Pulse wave velocity (m/s) = distance (m)/transit time (s). Results: The carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV (10.66 ± 1.74 vs. 8.16 ± 0.84 m/s) and diastolic blood pressure (79.00 ± 10.10 vs. 73.33 ± 8.11 mmHg) were higher in patients with BD than in the control groups (p< 0.001 and p= 0.03, respectively). A significant correlation was found between PWV and age, diastolic blood pressure, and mean blood pressure in the studied group (p< 0.001, r= 0.56; p= 0.02, r= 0.32; and p= 0.03, r= 0.31, respectively). Conclusion: Arterial elasticity assessed by carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV, an indicator of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis, is lower in patients with BD than in healthy controls.
