Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension.

Association between one-hour post-load plasma glucose levels and vascular stiffness in essential hypertension.

OBJECTIVES: Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a surrogate end-point for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. A plasma glucose value ≥155 mg/dl for the 1-hour post-load plasma glucose during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is able to identify subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) at high-r...
