Abstract

A novel cardiovascular stress biomarker known as galectin-3 might be useful for anticipating adverse cardiovascular outcomes. The objective of the current investigation was to assess the association between serum galectin-3 levels and aortic stiffness (AS) in 196 patients on peritoneal dialysis. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent examination and a cuff-based volumetric displacement were employed to determine the levels of serum galectin-3 and the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV), respectively. The AS group had 48 patients in total (24.5%) with cfPWV greater than 10 m/s. The AS group, when compared with the group without AS, had a significantly higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension in addition to greater fasting glucose levels, waist circumference, systolic blood pressure, and serum galectin-3 levels. Multivariate logistic and linear regression analysis demonstrated that serum glactin-3 levels, in addition to gender and age, were significantly and independently associated with cfPWV and AS. Serum galectin-3 levels were linked with AS, according to a receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, with an area under the curve of 0.648 (95% confidence interval, 0.576-0.714; p = 0.0018). In summary, there was a significant correlation between serum galectin-3 levels and cfPWV in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis therapy for end-stage kidney disease.

Abstract

Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with higher arterial stiffness compared to essential hypertension (EH). However, few studies have compared different pulse wave velocity (PWV) parameters to detect aldosterone-induced arterial stiffness. In this study, we aimed to compare the sensitivity in detecting aldosterone-induced arterial stiffness between brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) and heart-ankle PWV (haPWV). We prospectively enrolled 1006 PA patients and 983 EH patients. Detailed medical history, basic biochemistry data and two PWV measurements (baPWV and haPWV) were collected in both groups. We performed analysis on the original cohort and two propensity score matching (PSM) models (model 1 adjusted for age and sex; model 2 adjusted for age, sex, systolic and diastolic blood pressure). The DeLong test was used to compare areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) between baPWV and haPWV to predict PA. In all models, the PA patients had significantly higher baPWV compared to the EH patients. The AUC of haPWV was greater than that of baPWV. In conclusion, haPWV seems to be a better PWV parameter than baPWV in detecting aldosterone-induced arterial stiffness.
