The Effect of Age, Hypertension, and Overweight on Arterial Stiffness Assessed Using Carotid Wall Echo-Tracking in Childhood and Adolescence

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Arterial stiffness represents an independent predictor of the risk of subsequent cardiovascular events. Early identification of high-risk individuals is necessary for effective prevention and targeted interventions. Carotid wall echo-tracking is a modern method for an accurate evaluation of the structural and functional properties of carotid arteries. This study aimed to assess age and sex-specific reference values of the echo-tracking parameters of carotid stiffness in 400 healthy children and adolescents and to evaluate the potential early effect of elevated blood pressure and overweight in 69 overweight normotensives, 45 white coat hypertensives, and 44 essential hypertensives. Stiffness index β, pressure–strain elastic modulus (Ep), arterial compliance (AC), and pulse wave velocity β (PWV β) were evaluated using Aloka ProSound F75. Both white coat and essential hypertension were associated with impaired carotid wall properties with the greatest effect on Ep, followed by PWV β, index β, and AC. The excess weight showed a weaker effect on Ep and PWV β. This is the first study to compare the effects of white coat and essential hypertension on carotid arterial stiffness assessed using the echo-tracking technique in childhood and adolescence with direct application of pediatric reference values specific to age and sex.
