Background: Hypertension is still an important health problem that cause many serious cardiovascular risks. So screening these risks is extremely essential for primary hypertension patients. Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate baPWV and SCORE risk score in primary hypertension patients, then determine the association between baPWV and SCORE as well as conventional atherosclerotic risk factors in screening cardiovascular risk in hypertension patients. Methods: baPWV and SCORE were measured in a descriptive cross-sectional study in total of 107 primary hypertension patients (43 males and 64 females, age 30 to 74 years). Results: Analysis demonstrated that baPWV was associated with both Framingham and SCORE risk scores, independently from conventional atherosclerotic risk factors. The receiver-operator characteristic curve demonstrated that a baPWV of 25.06 m/s is useful for discriminating primary hypertension patients with high risk stratification by SCORE. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that a baPWV>25,06 m/s is an independent variable for the risk stratification by SCORE. Conclusion: baPWV that was significantly correlated with SCORE, has potential as a marker of evaluating cardiovascular risk in primary hypertension patients. Key words: Hypertension, primary hypertension, baPWV and SCORE risk score
