The usefulness of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), an index of arterial stiffness, is not fully known for the management of treated hypertensive patients with a history of coronary artery disease (CAD) who have blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg, a recommended blood pressure target in the updated major hypertension guidelines. We analyzed data for 447 treated hypertensive patients with CAD enrolled in FMD-J Study A for assessment of the predictive value of baPWV for future cardiovascular events. The primary outcome was a composite of coronary events, stroke, heart failure, and sudden death. During a median follow-up period of 47.6 months, the primary outcome occurred in 64 patients. Blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg was significantly associated with a lower risk of the composite outcome independent of other cardiovascular risk factors in treated hypertensive patients with CAD (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.35-0.99; P = 0.04). In treated hypertensive patients with CAD who had blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg, baPWV above the cutoff value of 1731 cm/s, derived from receiver-operator characteristic curve analysis for the composite outcome was significantly associated with a higher risk of the composite outcome independent of conventional risk factors (hazard ratio, 2.83; 95% CI, 1.02-7.91; P = 0.04). baPWV was an independent predictor of cardiovascular events in treated hypertensive patients with CAD who had blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg, for whom measurement of baPWV is recommended for cardiovascular risk assessment.
