“…Although the Russian subjects had higher HR and BP levels, these levels were independent of the differences in the CAVI among the two populations. While this is the first report using the CAVI for healthy younger Russian people, a previous study, which used the brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV: an indicator of arterial stiffness), showed that healthy Russian individuals might have higher arterial stiffness values compared to their Japanese counterparts 21) . In that report, the authors simply described the findings in Russian subjects under 39 years of age 21) .…”

Aim: A noninvasive approach to assess atherosclerosis in young people is of great concern. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and ankle-brachial index (ABI) reflect the arterial conditions, although the CAVI has not fully been studied in Russian populations. This study aimed to determine the CAVI and ABI in young Russians, to compare these findings with those in their Japanese peers and to investigate the lifestyle correlates and genetic associations with the CAVI and ABI in the Russians. Methods: In addition to several atherosclerotic parameters and self-reported lifestyle factors, the CAVI and ABI levels were measured in 114 Russians (mean 21 years). Four gene polymorphisms, including cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) Taq1B polymorphism, were typed in some of the subjects. Results: The Russians exhibited significantly higher CAVI levels compared to their Japanese counterparts (5.87 vs. 5.36; p 0.05), while the ABI levels were similar between the two populations. In the Russians, the ABI was significantly correlated with the mean blood pressure (r 0.26) and heart rate (r 0.43), while the CAVI did not show such correlations. No significant associations existed between lifestyle-related factors and the CAVI or ABI levels. A lower ABI level was found in carriers with the T-allele of CETP Taq1B in the Russians. Conclusions: The reference CAVI value can be specified for individual ethnic populations. Our findings suggest that Russians may develop atherosclerosis-related conditions at a younger age compared to Japanese subjects, although this must be verified in additional studies. The possible association between CETP polymorphisms and the ABI deserves further investigation. J Atheroscler Thromb, 2015; 22:211-218.

Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is the velocity of a pulse wave traveling a given distance between 2 sites in the arterial system, and is a well-known indicator of arteriosclerosis. Brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) is a parameter more simple to obtain, compared with the conventional PWV, and is an easy and effective means of evaluating arteriosclerosis. BaPWV can be obtained by only wrapping the four extremities with blood pressure cuffs, and it can be easily used to screen a large number of subjects. Type A behavior has been confirmed as an independent risk factor for the development of coronary heart disease. To examine the relationship between Type A behavior and arteriosclerosis, 307 normal Japanese subjects were classified into either a Type A group (n = 90) or a non-Type A group (n = 217) by using Maeda's Type A Scale. BaPWV was evaluated using a PWV diagnosis device. The baPWV in the Type A group was significantly higher than that obtained in the non-Type A group. The baPWV showed a positive correlation with age both in the Type A group and in the non-Type A group; however, the straight-line regression slope of baPWV versus age in the Type A group was significantly larger than that in the non-Type A group. Therefore, our results suggest that arteriosclerosis might be promoted earlier in subjects expressing the Type A behavior pattern. Type A behavior pattern is confirmed as a risk factor for arteriosclerosis, and may increase the risk of the cardiovascular disease related to arteriosclerosis.Type A behavior; Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; arteriosclerosis

“…It is well known that arterial stiffness detected via an increase in pulse wave velocity predicts an increased risk of cardiovascular events in patients with essential hypertension (Liu et al 2005;Liu et al 2006). Recently, the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) has been used to assess arterial stiffening instead of pulse wave velocity because it is less influenced by blood pressure than pulse wave velocity (Yambe et al 2004;Yambe et al 2005;Shirai et al 2006).…”
