Changes of Pulse Wave Velocity in the Lower Limbs in Hypertensive Patients
Original language description
Increased arterial stiffness is connected with vascular aging and cardiovascular diseases. Arterial stiffness correlates to Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) which can be measured by the bioimpedance method. The bioimpedance plethysmographic signal was measuredby a non-invasive Multichannel Bioimpedance Monitor and the PWV in the thigh and calf was calculated. Protocol: 2-minutes in the horizontal position, 5-minutes head-up tilt test (70 degrees Celsius). Subjects: 25 healthy (14 women and 11 men) non-smokingvolunteers and 24 patients treated for hypertension (12 women and 12 men). The PWV values during different positions for the right and left leg of the subject were evaluated and averaged. The relative PWVr=PWVtilt / PWVhorizontal was calculated. The unpaired t-test to evaluate the significance of differences between groups was used. There were no significant differences in the basic parameters (age,height, weight) of the healthy group versus the patient group. The significant difference
