Abstract
Examination of vascular wall rigidity revealed a significant increase in pulse wave propagation velocity (PWPV) and total peripheral vascular resistance in hypertensive patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) versus in those without cardiac arrhythmia. There was a strong direct relationship between PWPV and left ventricular anteroposterior size in hypertensive patients with AF (r = 0.74; p < 0.05).
