Abstract
Aim. To evaluate the opportunities for application of pulse wave velocity measurements (PWV) in aorta as prediction instrument as additional method in cardiovascular risk (CVR) stratification in patients with abdominal obesity (AO). Material and methods. Totally 132 normotensive patients studied with AO and SCORE risk 75 percentile for the respective age range — 8,0 m/s for persons of 31-45 years old and 8,3 m/s for 46-55 years old. Results. In patients with PWV in aorta >75th percentile organ damage was found more often — carotid atherosclerosis — 44,1% vs 5,1% (p 75 percentile for the respective age diapason it is aimfull to do screening of subclinical atherosclerosis for consequent reclassification of CVR and reconsideration of the necessary prevention events.
