BACKGROUND: Measures of arterial stiffness could be affected by the presence of @entity1028 ( @entity1028 ) and especially an intraluminal @entity715 (ILT). We, therefore, sought to study this possible connection by measuring pulse wave velocity ( @entity122 ) and pulse wave analysis (PWA) including augmentation index adjusted to heart rate 75(Aix75) in @entity1 with @entity1028 +/- ILT. @entity1 AND METHODS: @entity122 and PWA were measured in male @entity1 with @entity1028 from an ongoing Danish @entity1028 screening trial. Information on blood pressure, medications, BMI and smoking status was obtained at inclusion. RESULTS: In total, 157 @entity1 were included. Mean age was 73 years. Mean @entity1028 size was 42.2 mm. Fifty-six of the @entity1 had an intraluminal @entity715 , and @entity1 with @entity1028 and ILT had a significantly higher Aix75 than @entity1 with @entity1028 but without ILT (Mean = 28.3    1.4 SEM vs. 24.9    0.81, p=0.027), a difference that was also significant when adjusting for @entity1028 size, blood pressure and age. There was no difference in @entity122 between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Haemodynamic properties of the aorta are affected by the presence of ILT in @entity1 with @entity1028 that is not explained by aortic size. Alternatively, these findings could be explained by associations between ILT and properties of the left ventricle.
