Association of Different Measures of Arterial Stiffness with Left Ventricular and Microvascular Dysfunction

E/e’ e’/a’ Time to Peak Longitudinal strain Log Urine Albumin/ Creatinine
Pulse Wave Velocity (femoral) −0.05 0.91
Aortic compliance 0.02 −13.09
Intercept 3.04 1.96 12.82 −5.54
Age −0.14
Sex (male) 0.08 1.83 0.23
Waist/height 2.54 −0.85 −2.22
Mean Arterial Pressure 0.08
ABP daytime SBP index 6.89 0.48 0.81
ABP daytime DBP index −3.04 −0.71
Heart rate −0.01 0.15 0.01
R2 0.2 0.26 0.17 0.11

Full model included: age, race, sex, waist-to-height ratio, HR, Ambulatory SBP Index Daytime, Ambulatory DBP Index Daytime and one of the arterial stiffness variables. All model p ≤0.0001 and all parameter estimates ≤0.05. Increase in E/e’ or decrease in e’/a’ is consistent with worsening diastolic function. Increase in strain indicates worse systolic function.
