Factors influencing Prognosis
Systolic and diastolic BP levels
Electrocardiographic LVH
(Sokolow-Lyon >38 mm; Cornell >2440
mm*ms) or
Levels of pulse pressure (in the elderly)
Echocardiographic LVH
(LVMI M≥ 125g/m², W ≥110 g/m²)
Age (M>55 years; W>65 years)
Carotid wall thickening (IMT >0.9 mm) or
plaque
Carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity >12
m/sec
Dyslipidaemia
•TC>5.0 mmol/l (190 mg/dL) or
•LDL-C >3.0 mmol/l (115 mg/dL) or
•HDL-C:M
<1.0 mmol/l (40 mg/dL),
W <1.2 mmol/l (46
mg/dL) or
•TG >1.7
mmol/l (150 mg/dL)
Slight increase in plasma creatinine:
M: 115-133 ìmol/l (1.3-1.5 mg/dL);
W: 107-124 ìmol/l (1.2-1.4 mg/dL)
Fasting plasma glucose 5.6-6.9 mmol/L
(102-125 mg/dL)
Low estimated glomerular filtration rate
(<60 ml/min/1.73 m ²) or creatinine
clearance
(<60 ml/min)
Abnormal glucose tolerance test
Ankle/Brachial BP index <0.9
Abdominal obesity
(Waist circumference >102cm (M), 88cm (W))
Microalbuminuria 30-300 mg/24h or
albumin-creatinine ratio: ≥22 (M), or ≥31 (W) mg/g creatinine
Family history of premature CV disease
(M at age <55 years, W at age <65
years)
