Abstract
AIM: Motivated by the paradoxical and differing results of the early atherosclerosis related indices - Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI) reflecting arterial stiffness and Reactive Hyperemia Index (RHI) evaluating endothelium dependent flow-induced vasodilation - in obesity, we aimed to assess CAVI and RHI in obese adolescents and young adults in the context of differences in systemic vascular resistance (SVR). METHODS: We examined 29 obese (14f, 15.4 [12.3-18.5] y; BMI: 33.2±4.4 kg.m-2) and 29 non-obese gender and age matched adolescents and young adults (BMI: 21.02±2.3 kg.m-2). CAVI and RHI were measured using VaSera VS-1500 (Fukuda Denshi, Japan) and Endo-PAT 2000 (Itamar Medical, Israel), respectively. Hemodynamic measures were recorded using volume-clamp plethysmography (Finometer Pro, FMS, Netherlands) and impedance cardiography (CardioScreen 2000, Medis GmbH, Germany). SVR and sympathetic activity related indices - Velocity Index (VI) and Heather Index (HI), and LFSAP (spectral power in low frequency band of systolic blood pressure oscillations) were determined. RESULTS: In obese group, CAVI (4.59±0.88 vs. 5.18±0.63, p=0.002) and its refined version CAVI0 (6.46±1.39 vs.7.33±0.99, p=0.002) were significantly lower. No significant difference in RHI was found. SVR and sympathetic activity indices were all significantly lower in the obese group than in the non-obese group. RHI correlated positively with SVR (r=0.390, p=0.044) in obese subjects. CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that both indices used for the detection of early atherosclerotic changes are influenced by vascular tone. Vascular resistance could influence CAVI and RHI results impairing their interpretation.
