P.020 INTERRELATIONS BETWEEN CAROTID-RADIAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AND BLOOD PRESSURE MONITORING DATA IN PATIENTS WITH ISOLATED SYSTOLIC HYPERTENSION

PurposeTo investigate the interrelations of carotid-radial PWV (PWV-cr) and its dynamics in occlusion test with 24-h BP-monitoring (ABPM) parameters in patients with isolated systolic arterial hypertension (ISH).Methods112 ISH patients were exposed to ABPM. PWV-cr (“PulseTra-cePWV”, Great Britain) was measured along with its dynamics (%) after a 5-min forearm cuff occlusion and the second measurement. According to the results of the occlusion test the patients formed two subgroups, in one of which PWV-cr decreased (n = 66, 58.9%), while in the second group (n = 46, 41.1%) it did not change or increased. In both groups mean parameters of ABPM were compared. Correlation and logistic regression analyses were applied.ResultsInitial PWV-cr of all patients correlated directly to diurnal diastolic BP (DBP) (r = 0.40, p
