Microvascular Reactivity in Hypertensive Patients with High Body Adiposity

Several anthropometric indexes have been proposed to determine the association between overweight and cardiovascular risk factors. To evaluate the relationship between body adiposity and microvascular reactivity in hypertensive patients under antihypertensive therapy. Treated hypertensive patients a...

Description
Summary:Several anthropometric indexes have been proposed to determine the association between overweight and cardiovascular risk factors. To evaluate the relationship between body adiposity and microvascular reactivity in hypertensive patients under antihypertensive therapy. Treated hypertensive patients aged 40 to 70 were submitted to evaluation of anthropometric indexes: conicity (CI), body adiposity (BAI), visceral adiposity (VAI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR). Participants were divided by the terciles of fat percentage (%F) obtained by bioelectrical impedance. The patients underwent microvascular reactivity test (Laser Speckle Contrast Image) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurement. The p value
