Resting Measures of Aortic Stiffness After Accounting for Sex, Hypertension, Coronary Artery Disease, Dyslipidemia, Smoking, Visceral Fat, and Cardiovascular Medication Use
| NFG | IFG | DM | P Value, Glycemic Effect | P Value, (NFG vs IFG) | P Value, (NFG vs DM) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rest PP/SVI, mm Hg/mL per m2 | 1.55 (0.06) | 1.68 (0.05) | 1.71 (0.04) | 0.10 | 0.06 | 0.05 |
| Rest EaI, mm Hg/mL per m2 | 3.28 (0.09) | 3.48 (0.08) | 3.50 (0.07) | 0.41 | 0.28 | 0.19 |
| Rest AoD1, 10−3 mm Hg−1 | 1.34 (0.11) | 1.45 (0.09) | 1.38 (0.08) | 0.49 | 0.33 | 0.96 |
Values are expressed as mean (SE). AoD indicates aortic distensibility; DM, diabetes mellitus; EaI, aortic elastance index; IFG, impaired fasting glucose; NFG, normal fasting glucose; PP/SVI, pulse pressure/stroke volume index.
