Elevated estimated arterial age is associated with metabolic syndrome and low-grade inflammation
Background: Arterial age can be estimated from equations relating arterial stiffness to age and blood pressure in large cohorts. We investigated whether estimated arterial age (eAA) was elevated in patients with the metabolic syndrome and/or known cardiovascular disease (CVD), which factors were associated with eAA and whether eAA added prognostic information.
Methods: In 1993, 2366 study participants, 41, 51, 61, and 71 years old, had traditional cardiovascular risk factors and carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) measured. Risk groups were identified based on known CVD and components of metabolic syndrome, Syst...

Lifetime risk of stroke in young-aged and middle-aged Chinese population: the Chinese Multi-Provincial Cohort Study
Conclusion: In young-aged and middle-aged population, the lifetime stroke risk will keep very low if major risk factors especially blood pressure level is at optimal levels, but the risk substantially increases even with a slight elevation of major risk factors, which could not be identified using 10-year risk estimation.

Left ventricular ejection fraction and aortic stiffness are independent predictors of neurological outcome in acute ischemic stroke
Conclusion: These findings provide evidence that in ischemic stroke, preserved ejection fraction and lower pulse wave velocity are associated with early favorable outcome, independently of other known prognostic factors, including blood pressure.

Renal function and attributable risk of death and cardiovascular hospitalization in patients with cardiovascular risk factors from a registry-based cohort: the Estudio Cardiovascular Valencia-risk study
Conclusion: In a large general practice cohort of patients with cardiovascular disease risk factors, decreasing eGFR levels were associated with additional attributed risk of mortality and cardiovascular disease. Our findings underscore that intensified efforts are needed to reduce the cardiovascular disease burden associated to chronic kidney disease.

Left ventricular hypertrophy is a predictor of cardiovascular events in elderly hypertensive patients: Hypertension in the Very Elderly Trial
Conclusion: Use of Cornell voltage and Cornell product criteria for LVH predicted the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. Only Cornell product was associated with an increased risk of heart failure. This was particularly the case in men. The identification of ECG LVH proved to be important in very elderly hypertensive people.

High blood pressure as a risk factor for incident stroke among very old people: a population-based cohort study
Introduction: High blood pressure (BP) increases the risk of stroke, but there is limited evidence from studies including very old people. The aim was to investigate risk factors for incident stroke among very old people.
Methods: A prospective population-based cohort study was performed among participants aged at least 85 years in northern Sweden. The 955 participants were tested at their homes. BP was measured manually after 5-min supine rest. Incident stroke data were collected from medical charts guided by hospital registry, death records, and 5-year reassessments. Cox proportional hazards models were used.

Associations of blood pressure, sunlight, and vitamin D in community-dwelling adults
Conclusion: We conclude that although 25(OH)D concentration is inversely associated with SBP, it did not explain the association of greater sunlight exposure with lower BP.

Electrocardiographic left atrial abnormalities and risk of incident stroke in hypertensive patients with electrocardiographic left ventricular hypertrophy
Conclusion: Abnormal PTFV1, a marker of left atrial abnormality, was strongly associated with incident stroke in hypertensive patients, independent of in-treatment SBP and other predictors of incident stroke. This association, in the absence of detectable atrial fibrillation, suggests that an underlying atrial cardiopathy may cause left atrial thrombus formation and a subsequent stroke without intervening clinically recognized atrial fibrillation.

Depressed myocardial energetic efficiency is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in hypertensive left ventricular hypertrophy
Background and purpose: Myocardial mechano-energetic efficiency (MEE) can be easily approximated by the ratio of stroke work [i.e. SBP times stroke volume (SV)] to a rough estimate of energy consumption, the ‘double product’ [SBP times heart rate (HR)], which can be simplified as SV/HR. We evaluated whether MEE is associated with adverse prognosis in relation to the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).
Methods: Hypertensive participants of the Campania Salute Network (n = 12 353) without prevalent coronary or cerebrovascular disease and with ejection fraction more than 50% were cross-sectionally and l...

A high normal ankle–brachial index combined with a high pulse wave velocity is associated with cerebral microbleeds
Objectives: Arterial stiffness is associated with the pathogenesis of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs). The ankle–brachial index (ABI) is used to predict arterial stiffness. We hypothesized that the increase in ABI with age occurs as a result of increasing arterial stiffness and wave reflection, and is thus associated with target organ damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ABI, brachial–ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), and CMBs.
Methods: We recruited 990 cardiovascular disease-free and stroke-free participants [median age 53 (24–86) years, 531 were woman] who underwent brain MRI, ABI...

Early blood pressure lowering treatment in acute stroke. Ordinal analysis of vascular events in the Scandinavian Candesartan Acute Stroke Trial (SCAST)
Conclusion: Ordinal analysis of vascular events showed no overall effect of candesartan in the subacute phase of stroke. The effect of treatment given within 6 h of stroke onset appears promising, and will be addressed in ongoing trials. Ordinal analysis of vascular events is feasible and can be used in future trials.
