Repeat assessments were performed at the 5-year follow-up visit after intensive medical treatment and agreement determined by intraclass correlation coefficients. Rates of progression and their determinants, stratified by age and sex, were determined by mixed-effects linear models, adjusted for age, sex, and cardiovascular risk factors.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              In 188 surviving, eligible patients with repeat assessments after a median of 5.8 years. PWV, aoPP, and MCA-PI were highly reproducible (intraclass correlation coefficients, 0.71, 0.59, and 0.65, respectively), with progression of PWV (2.4%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001) and aoPP (3.5%;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001) but not significantly for MCA-PI overall (0.93;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.22). However, PWV increased at a faster rate with increasing age (0.009 m\/s per y\/y;\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001), while aoPP and MCA-PI increased significantly above the age of 55 years (aoPP,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.0001; MCA-PI,\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              =0.009). Higher aortic systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure predicted a greater rate of progression of PWV and aoPP, but not MCA-PI, although current MCA-PI was particularly strongly associated with concurrent aoPP (\n              <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n              &lt;0.001).\n            <\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Arterial pulsatility and aortic stiffness progressed significantly after 55 years of age despite the best medical treatment. Progression of stiffness and aoPP was determined by high blood pressure, but MCA-PI predominantly reflected current aoPP. Treatments targetting cerebral pulsatility may need to principally target aortic stiffness and pulse pressure to have the potential to prevent cerebral small vessel disease.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1161\/strokeaha.121.035560","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,2]],"date-time":"2021-12-02T10:01:57Z","timestamp":1638439317000},"page":"1310-1317","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Aortic Stiffness, Pulse Pressure, and Cerebral Pulsatility Progress Despite Best Medical Management: The OXVASC Cohort"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"53","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0630-8204","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Alastair J.S.","family":"Webb","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Lawson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4049-2364","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Karolina","family":"Wartolowska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sara","family":"Mazzucco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter M.","family":"Rothwell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Wolfson Centre for Prevention of Stroke and Dementia, University of Oxford, United Kingdom."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"name":"on behalf of the OXVASC Study Cohort","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0000000000004042"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archneurol.2007.23"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291709990857"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.b2477"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neubiorev.2018.04.003"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1212\/WNL.0b013e31826b951e"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.112.655837"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.118.021160"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2019.10551"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.117.017691"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaneurol.2017.5153"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1463","DOI":"10.1177\/0271678X20969984","article-title":"Physiological determinants of residual cerebral arterial pulsatility on best medical treatment after TIA or minor stroke.","volume":"41","author":"Webb AJ","year":"2021","unstructured":"Webb, AJ, Lawson, A, Li, L, Mazzucco, S, Rothwell, PM; and Oxford Vascular Study Phenotyped Cohort.
