Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the risk of target organ damage (TOD) in different groups based on carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) and central aortic blood pressure (CBP) in different populations. Methods: The study cohort was divided into four groups according to the status of cfPWV and CBP [Group (cfPWV/CBP): high cfPWV and high CBP; Group (cfPWV): high cfPWV and normal CBP; Group (CBP): normal cfPWV and high CBP; Group (control): normal cfPWV and normal CBP]. TOD was determined by the assessment of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) abnormality, chronic kidney disease (CKD), microalbuminuria, and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Results: A total of 1,280 patients (mean age 53.14 ± 12.76 years, 64.1% male patients) were recruited in this study. Regarding Group (control) as reference, LVH was significantly higher in Group (cfPWV) and Group (CBP) [OR 2.406, 95% CI (1.301–4.452), P < 0.05; OR 2.007, 95% CI (1.335–3.017), P < 0.05]; microalbuminuria was significantly higher in Group (cfPWV/CBP) and Group (CBP) [OR 3.219, 95% CI (1.630–6.359), P < 0.05; OR 3.156, 95% CI (1.961–5.079), P < 0.05]. With age stratified by 60 years, the risk of CKD was significantly higher in Group (cfPWV/CBP) [OR 4.019, 95% CI (1.439–11.229), P < 0.05]. Conclusion: Different phenotypes based on the status of cfPWV and CBP were associated with different TOD. Individuals with both cfPWV and CBP elevated have a higher risk of microalbuminuria.
