Arterial stiffness assessed by photoplethysmography and cardiovascular risk in prehypertensive patients
Abstract
Introduction: Prehypertension in the population increases the risk of developing hypertension. Hence, a timely identification allows for preventive actions to be taken.
Objective: To identify arterial stiffness disorders and cardiovascular risk in prehypertensive patients.
Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in a population consisting of 48 patients over 18 years of age with presumptive diagnosis of prehypertension belonging to the Family Doctor's Office 2 of Policlínico Universitario Josué País García, Santiago de Cuba Municipality, from November 2016 to March 2017. We were able to determine the arterial stiffness index through pulse wave velocity by means of photoplethysmography with an ANGIODIN® PD 3000 device.
Results: Patients between 18 and 34 years of age (50%) and women (62.50%) predominated. Some 52.08% of prehypertensive patients showed moderate or severe arterial stiffness indices; 6.67% of women presented severe arterial stiffness indices, while 55.56% of men had moderate arterial stiffness indices. Fifty percent of patients had moderate cardiovascular risk. In a 50% of women the risk was low, and in 55.55% of men was moderate.
Conclusions: We found arterial stiffness disorders in prehypertensive subjects evidenced by predominance of moderate and severe arterial stiffness index. We also identified prevalence of moderate cardiovascular risk in most individuals.
