PG - 8944 LID - 10.1038/s41598-023-35589-4 [doi] LID - 8944 AB - In patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) arterial stiffness is associated with increased cardiovascular and total mortality. Little is known about determinants of arterial stiffness in clinical routine. Identification of potential determinants of arterial stiffness will help to address treatment targets for patients in the early state of T2DM. This is a cross-sectional analysis of arterial stiffness in 266 patients in the early stage of T2DM who did not have cardiovascular or renal complications. Parameters of arterial stiffness such as central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and pulse wave velocity (PWV) were measured with the SphygmoCor System (AtCor Medical). We investigated the influence of parameters of glucose metabolism, lipid status, body constitution, blood pressure (BP) and inflammation on the stiffness parameters using multivariate regression analysis. The study cohort consisted of male and female patients aged 61 +/- 8 years with mean diabetes duration of 6.4 +/- 5.1 years, mean HbA1c 7.1 +/- 0.9%, mean cSBP 121 +/- 12 mmHg, mean cPP 44 +/- 10 mmHg and mean PWV 8.9 +/- 1.8 m/s. Multiple regression analysis identified waist circumference (WC) (beta = 0.411, p = 0.026), LDL-cholesterol (beta = 0.106, p = 0.006), systolic office BP (beta = 0.936, p < 0.001) and diabetes duration (beta = 0.233, p = 0.043) as potential determinants of cSBP. cPP was determined by sex (beta = 0.330, p = 0.008), age (beta = 0.383, p < 0.001), systolic office BP (beta = 0.370, p < 0.001) and diabetes duration (beta = 0.231, p = 0.028) whereas for PWV the following determinants could be identified: age (beta = 0.405, p < 0.001), systolic office BP (beta = 0.421, p < 0.001) and diabetes duration (beta = 0.073, p = 0.038). In addition to the known parameters age, sex and systolic office BP serum LDL-cholesterol, WC and diabetes duration have been identified as determinants of arterial stiffness in patients with T2DM. Treatment of patients in the early stage of T2DM should focus on these clinical parameters to prevent progression of arterial stiffness and as a consequence reduce cardiovascular mortality.Trial registration: The patients included in the analysis participated in one of the following clinical trials NCT02752113 (registered 26.4.2016), NCT02383238 (09.03.2015), NCT02471963 (15.06.2015), NCT01319357 (21.03.2011) ( http://www.clinicaltrials.gov ).
