Synergistic effect of smoking and blood pressure on augmentation index in men, but not in women

Abstract: This study was conducted in healthy Japanese subjects to examine the effects of age and gender on the relationship between the risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and augmentation index (AI), and the effects of clusters of those risk factors on AI. Radial arterial pressure wave analysis was used to obtain AI in 3675 men and 2919 women. AI was found to be higher in women than in men, and age-related increase in AI showed an attenuated curve in subjects aged X50 years. A step-wise multivariate linear r… Show more

“…Although the relationship of age with an increase of pulse wave velocity has been shown to be linear,4 age‐related increase of the augmentation index showed an attenuated curve in participants aged ≥50 years 13. The presence of white‐coat hypertension and/or masked hypertension could have affected the findings of the present study.…”

“…Of the total 5857 participants, 3908 did not have hypertension at study baseline; of those, all 634 female participants (because the number was small relative to the number of male participants) and 102 participants with unsatisfactory radial tonometry recordings (SD >6%; presumed to be from inaccurate pressure waveform recording) were excluded 13. The present study was conducted in the remaining 3172 men.…”

“…15,16 This technique has been shown to be reproducible in our institute in another study. 11 The first and second peaks of the radial systolic pressure (SBP1 and SBP2) and radial diastolic pressure were then automatically detected, using fourth derivatives for each radial arterial waveform, and then averaged.…”

“…11 Subjects with a 10-year risk of CHD of X10% as predicted by the FRS were defined as having a high CHD risk. Those with total cholesterol from 160 to 199 mg per 100 ml, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol X45 mg per 100 ml in men and X55 mg per 100 ml in women, BP of o120 mm Hg systolic and o80 mm Hg diastolic, nonsmoking and free of diabetes mellitus, were defined as having a low CHD risk.…”
