Table 3 Multivariate regression of CFVR with the various study parameters
CharacteristicsΒtp Value
Fasting blood glucose−0.18−2.180.03
Pulse pressure−0.25−2.460.02
AIx−0.32−3.66<0.001
baPWV−0.20−1.880.063

  • *Variables: age, gender, body mass index, fasting blood glucose, LDL cholesterol, current smoker, mean blood pressure, pulse pressure, rate pressure product, LV mass index, E/A, baPWV, AIx. R2 = 0.36 for the model, p<0.001.

  • AIx, augmentation index; baPWV, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity; LDL, low-density lipoprotein; LV, left ventricular.
