Twentyfour Ambulatory Pulse Wave Velocity and Central Augmentation Index in Type 2 Diabetes

Completed
Conditions
Type 2 Diabetes
Registration Number
NCT01812811
Lead Sponsor
University of Aarhus
Brief Summary

The functionality and reproducibility of pulse wave analysis is investigated in 20 type 2 diabetic patients who had two 24 hour measurements performed within one week with the Arteriograph24 equipment.

Detailed Description

Arteriograph24 is a new monitor for measuring ambulatory blood pressure and additional performing brachial cuff based on analysis of a suprasystolic pulse wave.

The study aim to test the feasibility of ambulatory pulse wave analysis every twenty minute (the fraction of missed measurements)and the reprodicility of pulse wave velocity and central augmentation index in type 2 diabetic patients. In addition we will explore the relation between diurnal variation of brachial blood pressure, central blood pressure and pulse wave velocity.

20 type 2 diabetic patients will have 24h ambulatory blood pressure performed twice with an interval of one week.
