Data on arterial stiffness in older populations, according to blood pressure (BP) levels, are scarce Brazil. The objective of this study was establish reference values for core measures stiffness, including carotid‐femoral pulse wave velocity (cf‐PWV) and aortic augmentation index (AIx), a cohort individuals with normotension (NT) hypertension. Cross‐sectional analysis performed applanation tonometry data from 1192 patients aged 60 years or older. authors classified their BP levels as having...
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Elderly patients with normal systemic arterial blood pressure associated femoral carotid pulse velocity (cf-PWV) less than 7.6 m/s and without comorbidities are considered to have good vascular health. The aim of the current study was verify probability that elderly health at least one measurement above different thresholds for systolic (120, 130 140 mmHg) during two years follow–up. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We...
Background Aging increases the risk of chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular leading to changes in anatomy and physiology even absence other comorbidities. Numerous factors (CVRFs), such as diabetes mellitus (DM) systemic arterial hypertension (SAH), can modify functional structural properties large vessels, increasing stiffness.Objective To determine whether elderly patients with DM have greater central stiffness than SAH without DM.Methods The Study Pulse Wave Velocity Elderly an...
ABSTRACT Introduction: Pulse wave velocity is used to diagnose central arterial stiffness (CAS) and quantify healthy vascular aging (HVA). Objective: To evaluate the CAS HVA in elderly patients with systemic blood pressure levels classified as optimal/normal. Methods: A total of 102 without comorbidities systolic (SP) < 120 mmHg diastolic (DP) 80 were selected from EVOPIU database (Pulse Wave Velocity Elderly Individuals an Urban area Brazil). The carotid-femoral pulse (c-fPWV) peripheral...
Objetivo : Conhecer as dúvidas dos familiares de pacientes internados na unidade terapia intensiva, há mais 24 horas, e manifestadas durante visitas enfermagem. Métodos Estudo transversal prospectivo que incluiu 115 famíliares horas em intensiva. O instrumento pesquisa foi um questionário aplicado três Resultados A dúvida apresentada sobre o estado clínico a diferença média entre da primeira segunda visita estatisticamente significante (p=0,047). significante, quando comparada com terceira...
RESUMO Introdução: A velocidade da onda de pulso é usada para diagnosticar a rigidez arterial central (RAC) e quantificar o envelhecimento vascular saudável (EVS). Objetivo: Avaliar RAC EVS em pacientes idosos com níveis pressóricos sistêmicos classificados como ideais/normais. Métodos: Um total 102 sem comorbidades pressão sistólica (PS) < 120 mmHg diastólica (PD) 80 foram selecionados do banco dados EVOPIU (Estudo Velocidade Onda Pulso Idosos área Urbana no Brasil). Foram avaliadas...
Abstract Objective: Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (c-fPWV) is a noninvasive indirect measure of central arterial stiffness, considered predictor cardiovascular events. However, it not included in any risk calculator, such as the pooled equation for atherosclerotic disease (ASCVD) estimation. The study aimed to evaluate association between c-fPWV and CVR older individuals determined by ASCVD Risk Estimator. Design method: EVOPIU longitudinal where were evaluated 927 patients aged 60 or...
