Description | Influence of age, body mass index (BMI) and blood pressure (BP) on the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) with respect to baroreflex sensitivity (BRS) in normotensives and treated hypertensives was studied. Multiregression analysis showed that an aditive influence of age and BMI on a development of IMT is essential in normotensives. On the other hand, 24-h mean BP was not significantly related to carotid IMT in healthy controls when the influence of age was included. In hypertensives the long-term influence of BP predominates as it is documented by comparison of IMT between hypertensives and normotensives. |
