We investigated the relationship between the central hemodynamics assessed using the Mobil-O-Graph and LVH in 100 hypertensive patients (age, 54-75 years; 48 men), presenting a wall thickness of ≥11 mm and ≥10 mm in men and women, respectively.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Although the Mobil-O-Graph-measured central AIx showed no negative values, it correlated moderately with the HEM-9000AI-measured radial AIx (<i>r</i> = 0.602, <i>p</i> < 0.001) in the normotensive individuals.

Lp(a) levels did not show a significant correlation with the other parameters studied, both regarding the whole sample (patients and controls), as well as in the subgroups of elevated Lp(a) levels. However, in the group of children with high Lp(a) levels, c-IMT and PWV were positively correlated with diastolic blood pressure (<i>r</i> = 0.427, <i>p</i> = 0.026 and <i>r</i> = 0.425, <i>p</i> = 0.030, respectively), while SEVR was negatively correlated with AIx (<i>r</i> = -0.455, <i>p</i> = 0.017).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Healthy children and adolescents with high Lp(a) levels do not yet have impaired vascular indices, compared to controls. However, in order to prevent early atherosclerosis, it is crucial to early identify and follow up children with high Lp(a) levels and positive family history of premature coronary disease or other cardiovascular risk factors.</p>","PeriodicalId":29774,"journal":{"name":"Pulse","volume":"9 3-4","pages":"64-71"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2021-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8740010/pdf/pls-0009-0064.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39739614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
