We sought to investigate this issue in the hypertensive fraction of the general population treated with anti-hypertensive drugs enrolled in the Pressioni Monitorate E Loro Associazioni (PAMELA) study.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The study included 239 out of 562 participants who attended the second and third surveys of the PAMELA study performed after 10 and 25 years from the initial evaluation. Data collection included medical history, anthropometric parameters, office, home, ambulatory blood pressure (BP), blood examinations, echocardiography, and CAVI measurements.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>In the whole study sample (age 69\u2005\u00b1\u20059 years, 54% males), CAVI was positively correlated with age, office, home, ambulatory systolic BP, LV mass (LVM) index, and negatively associated with body mass index (BMI). In multivariate analysis, CAVI was associated with the LVM index (P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.05) independently of major confounders. The participants with LVH exhibited significantly higher CAVI (10.6\u2005\u00b1\u20052.8 vs. 9.2\u2005\u00b1\u20051.8 m\/s P\u2005&amp;lt;\u20050.001), larger left atrial diameter, and lower LV ejection fraction values than their counterparts without it. The CAVI value of 9.4 m\/s was the best cut-off for prediction of LVH in the whole sample.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n
