Sažetak
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES. To determine if arterial stiffness (AS) variables are related to SCORE and levels of inflammatory biomarkers in COPD patients without previous comorbidities. RESULTS: PWVAO value is associated with SCORE result (r=0.390, P<0.001). Fibrinogen level is correlated with PWVAO value (r=0.279, p<0.001) and SCORE result (r-0.245). hs-CRP levels correlate with PWVAO (r=0.170, p=0.015) and SCORE result (r=0.278, p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Critical PWVA0 of 10 m/s is achieved already in the SCORE calculation of 4% Results suggest that AS is associated with SCORE calculation. Both AS and SCORE results are related to levels of hs-CRP and fibrinogen. Results support evidence that AS, as well as biomarkers, could be useful in practice to determine CV risk in COPD patients.
