Abstract
Autonomic dysfunction is related to increased cardiovascular disease and mortality, being responsible of both subclinical coronary artery disease and cardiac arhythmias. In addition augmented sympathetic activity arises vascular constriction contributing to parietal arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness can be assessed by measuring the velocity of the initial pulse wave propagation between two sites measured with PulsePen tonometer. We assessed whether subclinical autonomic dysfunction, as evaluated by a complete battery of autonomic function tests, correlates with pulse wave velocity change over 10 year follow up.
