Summary: | The VASOTENS Registry is an international telehealth‐based repository of 24‐hour ambulatory blood pressure monitorings (ABPM) obtained through an oscillometric upper‐arm BP monitor allowing combined estimation of some vascular biomarkers. The present paper reports the results obtained in 1200 participants according to different categories of CV risk. Individual readings were averaged for each recording and 24‐hour mean of brachial and aortic systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and augmentation index (AIx) obtained. Peripheral and central BP, PWV and AIx values were increased in older participants (SBP only) and in case of hypertension (SBP and DBP). BP was lower and PWV and AIx higher in females. PWV was increased and BP unchanged in case of metabolic syndrome. Our results suggest that ambulatory pulse wave analysis in a daily life setting may help evaluate vascular health of individuals at risk for CV disease. |

Bibliography: | Funding information This is an investigator‐initiated study. The study coordinator, Italian Institute of Telemedicine, is the promoter and main sponsor of the study and made available its resources and facilities for conducting the trial. The authors received no specific grant from any funding agency in the public, commercial, or not‐for‐profit sectors for the preparation of the manuscript. BPLab GmbH provided the ambulatory blood pressure devices and Biotechmed Ltd. the web‐based telemedicine platform used for data collection, at no costs. These funding sources had no role in the design of the study and had no role during its execution, analyses, interpretation of the data, or decision to submit results. For this study, no additional funding source is available.
