Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Aoritc Augmentation indexes (AIxs) and pulse wave velocity (Pwv) are arterial stiffness parameters. They can be studied by pulse wave analysis noninvasively. Before use, AoAix and Pwv need normative baseline study to find the predictors. However the data about arterial stiffness from rural population of Andhrapradesh is still undetermined. Method: Pwv and AoAix was measured in the carotid-femoral pathway in 1235 rural inhabitants of Nellore district and clinical parameters were recorded. Result: Pwv was greater after the fourth decade of life (8.12 ± 1.5) than in youngers less than 40 years. The Pwv was higher in hypertensives of older than 40 years, diabetics and dyslipidemic patients. Major positive significant predictors of PWV were age, Body Mass Index, and systolic blood pressure; whereas for AIx was age alone. Conclusion: This is the first study conducted in 1235 subjects of rural population of Nellore district which determines the relationship of Pwv with age and other risk factors. Pwv shows a lower in subjects less than 40 years compared to older persons with a strong relationship to the process of arterial aging, the development of hypertension and cardiovascular risk. This baseline data can be used as a reference for future studies.
