“…Age (20,21), gender (22), serum lipids levels (23), renal function (24), SBP (22), pulse pressure (25), HR (26) and other cardiovascular risk factors (27−29) may influence baPWV and its progression in hypertensive patients and normotensive subjects. The results of the present study were partially consistent with those of previous studies, and established significant correlations between baseline baPWV and age, BMI, SBP and pulse pressure.…”
