The aim of this work was to examine whether the CAVI value in patients with dyslipidaemia (DLP) is increased by the presence of other cardiovascular risk factors: hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking. A total of 392 subjects with DLP (166 male, 226 female), with a median age of 58.5 and 5-95 percentile range 32.2-73.9 years were examined. CAVI was measured using the VaSera 1500 system. CAVI correlated significantly with age (p<0.001) and both systolic (p<0.001) and diastolic (p=0.002) blood pressure; higher values were found in men (p=0.034) than in women in the 56-65 age group. There was no significant difference in CAVI between smokers and non-smokers (p=0.217) and betweeen subjects with and without diabetes mellitus (p=0.424). CAVI was significantly higher in subjects with hypertension than in the normotensive group (p<0.001) and in statin-treated subjects than in those without statins (p<0.001); however, CAVI values adjusted for age and sex did not differ significantly between these groups. Adjusted CAVI values were higher only in smokers than in non-smokers (former smokers) (p<0.001). The study proves conclusively that the CAVI value in DLP patients is not siginficantly affected by hypertension and diabetes mellitus, but it is increased by smoking."@en . "Shirai, Kohji" . . .
