SURVEY ON THE RATE OF INCREASED ARTERIAL STIFFNESS AND RELATED FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTENSION AND CHRONIC CORONARY SYNDROME
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the proportion of arterial stiffness and related factors. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study, on patients with primary hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome who visited Bac Lieu General Hospital from June 2024 to February 2025. Arterial stiffness was determined on brachial - ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Results: In total, 70 patients, 51.4% were male. The rate of increased arterial stiffness was 65.7%. Smoking, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, angina, and duration of hypertension over 10 years were factors that increased arterial stiffness with ORs ranging from 2.50 to 14.17. Arterial stiffness correlated with age, systolic blood pressure, and duration of hypertension with correlation coefficients of r=0.313; r=0.457, and r=0.433. Conclusion: Patients with primary hypertension and chronic coronary syndrome have a high rate of increased arterial stiffness. Smoking, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, angina pectoris, and hypertension duration of more than 10 years are risk factors for increased arterial stiffness.
