Independent predictors of AASI (ambulatory artery stiffness index)
| Variables | B | P | CI 95% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age, years | 0.001 | 0.390 | -0.001-0.004 |
| Overall pulse pressure, mm Hg | 0.001 | 0.268 | -0.001-0.003 |
| LOG10 Hypertension duration, years | 0.045 | 0.149 | -0.016-0.107 |
| LOG10 Fasting plasma glucose, mg/dL | 0.054 | 0.342 | -0.058-0.165 |
| MDRD eGFR, mL/min | -0.001 | 0.109 | -0.002-0.000 |
| LOG10 LDL cholesterol, mg/dL | 0.154 | 0.074 | -0.323-0.015 |
| E (early diastolic mitral inflow velocity)/E’ | 0.006 | 0.115 | -0.001-0.013 |
| LAVI, mL/m2 | 0.003 | 0.151 | 0.001-0.006 |
| SR-LAs, s-1 | -0.175 | <0.001 | -0.225- -0.126 |
| LOG10 S-LAe, % | -0.011 | 0.861 | -0.138-0.116 |
| LOG10 Carotid intima-media thickness, mm | -0.011 | 0.882 | -0.151-0.130 |
E’ - early diastolic tissue velocity; eGFR - estimated glomerular filtration fraction; LAVI - left atrial volume index; LDL - low-density lipoprotein; MDRD - modification of diet in renal disease; SR-LAs - peak left atrial strain rate during ventricular systole; S-LAe - peak left atrial strain at early diastole
The independent predictors of AASI were evaluated with multiple linear regression analysis
