This study aims to investigate the relationship between iCAVB and arterial stiffness using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI).<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>In this study, of 205 CAVB patients, 41 patients with iCAVB implanted with a dual-chamber permanent pacemaker and 40 age- and gender-matched controls were studied. Arterial stiffness was assessed by a VaSera VS-1000 CAVI instrument. The CAVI values of patients with iCAVB were significantly higher compared with the controls (9.63 \u00b1 1.42 vs 8.57 \u00b1 1.12, P &lt; .001). Idiopathic complete atrioventricular block frequency was higher among patients with abnormal CAVI values than those with borderline and normal CAVI ( P = .04). In multivariate analysis, only CAVI was an independent predictor of iCAVB after adjusting for other relevant factors (odds ratio, 2.575; 95% CI [1.390-4.770]; P = .003). The present study demonstrated that CAVI, as a marker of arterial stiffness, was increased among elderly patients with iCAVB. Thus, we provide a possible additional mechanism linking easily measured CAVI with iCAVB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/00033197211028780","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,8]],"date-time":"2021-07-08T05:20:37Z","timestamp":1625721637000},"page":"120-124","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Association Between Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index and Primary Idiopathic Complete Atrioventricular Block in an Elderly Population"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"73","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7872-2236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Turhan","family":"Turan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Faruk","family":"Kara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8329-4603","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Selim","family":"Kul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammet Rasit","family":"Say\u0131n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3687-0580","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sinan","family":"Sahin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mustafa O\u011fuz","family":"Varol","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali Riza","family":"Akyuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Bayraktar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1815-437X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6mer Faruk","family":"\u00c7\u0131rako\u011flu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Levent","family":"Korkmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cardiology, University of Health Sciences, Ahi Evren Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery Training and Research Hospital, Trabzon, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-00033197211028780","unstructured":"WHO.
