Abstract

Objective: To assess the agreement and reproducibility of the non-invasive measurement of baPWV and ABI with the (VP1000) proving its utility in 36 Mexican healthy individuals.Design and method: A cross-sectional study was carried out in thirty-six healthy subjects (20 men and 16 women) from Guadalajara, México. The measurement of the baPWV and ABI was performed with the device VP1000, all the values are expressed as an average ± SD; the correlation between the first and the second measurements was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and the Bland Altman method. All p values were two-tailed, and P < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant. Results: The average age was 20.6 ± 1.6 years, with a BMI of 23.5 ± 3.5 and a waist circumference of 82.5 ± 9.3. The right and left baPWV showed a good correlation between the first and second measurements with statistical significance respectively (r2 Pearson = 0.810, p < 0.001, r2 Pearson = 0.831, p < 0.001). The arterial ABI showed good correlation between the first and the second measurement with statistical significance, (r2 Pearson = 0.730, p < 0.001, r2 Pearson = 0.599, p < 0.001). The Bland–Altman plot of the first and the second baPWV and ABI measurements, demonstrate good agreement (mean difference -4.3 ± 39.43 cm/s), (mean difference-0.0071 ± 0.43) respectively. (figure 1). Conclusions: The results obtained by the OMRON VP1000 device, demonstrate that there is a high and significant correlation as well as good agreement between the left and right baPWV arterial stiffness values, as well as right and left ABI.
