45 How to convert measured PWV-values to standard values? Use Table 1 of consensus document on measurement of cf-pwv or conversion formula J Hypertens 2012; 30:445-8 e.g. measured PWV: 9.5 m/s Standard PWV = measured PWV*distance[(CA-FA)x0.8]/distance[used method] Standard PWV = 9.5*50.9/45.5 = m/s (Sphygmocor) Standard PWV = 9.5*50.9/63.6 = 7.60 m/s (Complior) Standardisation needed

60 Summary (1) Endothelial function Vasodilating drugs improve EF ACEI>macrocirculation CCB>microcirculation Nonvasodilating BB and diuretics: neutral CIMT All firstline antihypertensive drugs decrease CIMT effect of drug or BP Larger decrease in CIMT with CCBs due to larger vasodilation? Vasodilating drugs: assess IMarea instead of IMT Wave reflection Vasodilating drugs early wave reflection and csbp Diuretics: neutral Non VD BB: due to lower heart rate BHC 2015

61 Summary (2) Arterial stiffness All first line antihypertensive drugs improve arterial stiffness on the long term, suggesting that BP per se may be beneficial ACEIs and ARBs appear to have a larger effect beyond BP suggesting direct effect The clinical relevance of this larger effect is currently hard to estimate because of methodological issues Therefore investigators should be urged to deny user manuals of the devices and to use the standard method to measure cfpwv or to convert the results to the standard method
