Conclusions\: Patients with CA have the highest arterial stiffness and significantly higher peripheral and central blood pressure. SLE patients have higher arterial stiffness as compared to CG and similar as compared to CSX group. Age and arterial hypertension are independent factors that increase arterial stiffness. Diabetes mellitus and smoking increase arterial stiffness among CA patients. Inflammatory markers do not influence arterial stiffness. One\-year treatment with atorvastatin 40 mg daily decreases the level of inflammatory markers in SLE patients. It decreases PWV, but there was no significance in this study, only a trend."]
