- Background: Arterial hemodynamic parameters derived from reservoir-excess pressure analysis exhibit prognostic utility. Reservoir-excess pressure analysis may provide useful information about an influence of altered hemodynamics on target organ such as the kidneys. We determined whether the parameters derived from the reservoir-excess pressure analysis were associated with the reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate in 542 older adults (69.4±7.9 years, 194 females) at baseline and after 3 years. Methods: Reservoir-excess pressure parameters, including reservoir pressure integral, excess pressure integral, systolic, and diastolic rate constants, were obtained by radial artery tonometry. Results: After 3 years, and in a group of 94 individuals (72.4±7.6 years, 26 females), there was an estimated glomerular filtration rate reduction of >5% per year (median reduction of 20.5% over 3 years). A multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that higher baseline reservoir pressure integral was independently associated with a smaller reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate after accounting for conventional cardiovascular risk factors and study centers (odds ratio: 0.660 [95% CIs, 0.494-0.883]; P=0.005). The association remained unchanged after further adjustments for potential confounders and baseline renal function (odds ratio: 0.528 [95% CIs, 0.351-0.794]; P=0.002). No other reservoir-excess pressure parameters exhibited associations with the reduction in renal function. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that baseline reservoir pressure integral was associated with the decline in renal function in older adults at 3-year follow-up, independently of conventional cardiovascular risk factors. This suggests that reservoir pressure integral may play a role in the functional decline of the kidneys.

- Greater central artery stiffness is observed in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Elevated blood pressure (BP) and altered arterial wall structure/composition in T2DM are generally considered as main drivers for this alteration. However, because conventional arterial stiffness measures are BP-dependent and as such an influence of BP remains in a measure, it is unclear if greater central artery stiffness is a function of greater BP, or due to changes in the structure and composition of the arterial wall. We aimed to measure BP-independent arterial stiffness (b0) cross-sectionally and longitudinally in T2DM. We studied 753 adults with T2DM (DM þ) and 436 adults without (DM-) at baseline (Phase 1), and 310 DM þ and 210 DM- adults at 3-yr follow-up (Phase 2). We measured carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and used it to calculate b0. In Phase 1, b0 was significantly greater in DM þ than DM- after adjusting for age and sex [27.5 (26.6–28.3) vs. 23.6 (22.4–24.8) au, P < 0.001]. Partial correlation analyses after controlling for age and sex showed that b0 was significantly associated with hemoglobin A1c (r ¼ 0.15 P < 0.001) and heart rate [(HR): r ¼ 0.23 P < 0.001)] in DM þ . In Phase 2, percentage-change in b0 was significantly greater in DM þ than DM-[19.5 (14.9–24.0) vs. 5.0 (-0.6 to 10.6) %, P < 0.001] after adjusting for age, sex, and baseline b0. b0 was greater in DM þ than DM- and increased much more in DM þ than in DM- over 3 yr. This suggests that T2DM exacerbates BP-independent arterial stiffness and may have a complemental utility to existing arterial stiffness indices. NEW & NOTEWORTHY We demonstrate in this study a greater BP-independent arterial stiffness b0 in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) compared to those without, and also a greater change in b0 over 3 yr in people with T2DM than those without. These findings suggest that the intrinsic properties of the arterial wall may change in a different and more detrimental way in people with T2DM and likely represents accumulation of cardiovascular risk.
