Objective: Assess arterial stiffness using brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and its correlation with certain clinical and subclinical characteristics in type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients at 175 Military Hospital.
Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 200 participants (160 patients with T2DM and 40 in age and sex-matched healthy control group) at Military Hospital 175 from June 2022 to June 2024. BaPWV was measured by the OMRON VP-1000 PLUS machine.
Results: Patients with T2DM had a mean age of 59.95 ± 12.62 years, with males accounting for 45%. The most common atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors were hypertension (HTN) and dyslipidemia (72.5% and 71.25%, respectively). The T2DM group had a significantly higher mean baPWV compared with the healthy control group matched for age and sex (1821.22 ± 433.56 vs. 1544.93 ± 302.36 cm/s; p < 0.05), as well as a significantly higher prevalence of arterial stiffness (baPWV > 1450 cm/s) (45% vs. 21.88%; p = 0.003). In patients with T2DM, baPWV showed a statistically significant positive correlation with age (r = 0.477; p < 0.05), heart rate (r = 0.20; p = 0.11), and mean arterial pressure (r = 0.441; p < 0.05). Arterial stiffness in patients with T2DM was significantly associated with hypertension [OR 4.75 (2.14–10.53), p < 0.001], metabolic syndrome [OR 3.53 (1.60–7.76), p = 0.004], chronic kidney disease [OR 2.94 (1.20–7.25), p = 0.016], poor glycemic control with HbA1c > 6.5% [OR 3.77(1.41–4.48), p = 0.01], and microalbuminuria [OR 1.91 (0.84–4.33), p < 0.01]. Patients with T2DM and concomitant hypertension had significantly higher baPWV compared with those without hypertension (1910.22 ± 439.57 vs. 1586.65 ± 317.47 cm/s; p < 0.001). Among patients with T2DM and hypertension, those who achieved target blood pressure control had significantly lower baPWV than those who did not achieve blood pressure targets (1828.09 ± 400.02 vs. 2004.28 ± 467.11 cm/s; p = 0.03).
Conclusion: In patients with T2DM, mean baPWV values and the prevalence of increased arterial stiffness were significantly higher than in healthy controls matched for age and sex. baPWV was significantly associated with age, mean arterial pressure, and heart rate. Arterial stiffness was significantly associated with several atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, metabolic syndrome, chronic kidney disease, poor glycemic control (HbA1c > 6.5%), and positive microalbuminuria. Patients with T2DM and hypertension who achieved target blood pressure control had significantly lower baPWV compared with those who did not achieve blood pressure targets.
