Abstract
The aim of the study was to evaluate relationship between patient characteristics and arterial stiffness assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity with plasma renin activity. 83 patients with untreated hypertension were examined. Patients with volume-mediated hypertension compared with patients with renin-mediated hypertension were older, had higher level of blood pressure and higher arterial stiffness.
