Title: Effect of antihypertensive therapy on arterial elasticity in patients with essential hypertension
Abstract: Objectives To observe the effect of antihypertensive therapy on arterial elasticity in patients with essential hypertension. Methods Using CV Profilor DO-2020, C1 large and C2 small artery elasticity indices of 30 patients with controlled blood pressure, 30 with uncontrolled blood pressure and 30 healthy subjects were measured. Results Both C1 and C2 in BP controlled group were significantly higher than those in BP uncontrolled group[(10.70±3.71) ml/mmHg vs (7.96±3.01) ml/mmHg,P0.05; (3.98±2.09) ml/mmHg vs (2.50±1.14) ml/mmHg,P0.05]. There was no significant difference in C1 between BP controlled group and healthy group[(10.70±3.71) ml/mmHg vs (11.42±1.67) ml/mmHg,P0.05], but C2 in BP controlled group was significantly lower than that in healthy group[(3.98±2.09) ml/mmHg vs (7.67±1.56) ml/mmHg, P0.05]. Conclusions Antihypertensive treatment can improve arterial elasticity function in patients with hypertension.
