Relationship between pulse wave velocity progression and baseline heart rate and its change over 3.7 years of follow-up in hypertensive patients
The main result of our study was that despite the presence of a significant association between baseline HR and baseline PWV, neither HR nor ΔHR was significantly associated with PWV progression (ΔPWV). On the contrary, baseline PWV and baseline BP (SBP, DBP, MBP and PP) and their changes during follow-up present significant association with an accelerated process of arterial stiffening.
