Objective. To assess the relationship between arterial stiffness parameters in hypertensive patients with and without atherosclerotic lesions.Design and methods. We included 127 subjects who were divided into 3 groups: patients with hypertension (HTN) without atherosclerosis (n = 42); patients with HTN and subclinical atherosclerosis (SА) (n = 52) and control group which consisted of individuals without HTN, SA, or coronary artery disease (n = 33). All groups matched by age and gender. All subjects underwent following examinations: ultrasonography of extracranial segments of carotid arteries, 24-hour blood pressure monitoring with the assessment of arterial stiffness parameters.Results. In subjects with HTN compared to controls, pulse wave velocity in aorta (PWVao) was significantly higher (11,3 ± 1,5; 12,3 ± 1,8 vs 10,4 ± 1,3 m/s; p < 0,05), as well as pulse pressure (PP) (46,4 ± 9,8; 45,6 ± 10,6 vs 39,9 ± 6,5 mmHg; p < 0,05), central pulse pressure (PPао) (35,5 ± 8,5; 34,9 ± 8,5 vs 30,9 ± 5,4 mmHg; p < 0,05), and arterial stiffness index (ASI) (141 (127, 159); 139 (128,5, 160,5) vs 126 (118, 138) mmHg; p < 0,05). In subjects with HTN and SA, PWVao was significantly higher compared to other groups (p < 0,05). No significant difference in augmentation index was found (–32,5 (–45, –12); –22 (–36, –12); –37 (–50, –17); p = 0,25). Аmbulatory arterial stiffness index was higher in controls (0,5 ± 0,2) compared to HTN group (0,4 ± 0,2; p = 0,05), while HTN and SA group did not differ significantly (0,5 ± 0,2; p = 0,3). PWVao above 11,15 m/s is associated with 4,3 (2,3–8,2) times higher rate of atherosclerosis plaque detection.Conclusions. In HTN patients, arterial stiffness is changed compared to healthy individuals. PWVao above 11,15 m/s is associated with 4,3 (2,3–8,2) times higher rate of atherosclerosis plaque detection. In patients with HTN and SA arterial stiffness is higher, which might have additional predictive value in risk stratification.
