Search for: [Abstract = "Results\:The mean age was 58.5 years and ranged from 45 years to 70 years. On the basis of subjective and objective examination diagnosed with coronary artery disease \(25%\), hypertension \(56%\), diabetes mellitus \(13.3%\), hypercholesterolemia \(80.4%\), hypertriglyceridemia \(33.6%\). Regular smoking was declared by 22.6% and 2.8% occasionally. On the basis of the SCORE tables for Polish after excluding patients with known cardiovascular disease and diabetes, 22.5% of people qualified for the group of significantly increased risk of death from cardiovascular causes.The average value for cfPWV was 12.9m\/s and for IMT 0.79mm. Increased value for cfPWV \(>10m\/s\) was in 271 responders \(37,6%, IMT in 123responders \(17,1%\) and atherosclerotic plaques were diagnosed in 265 people \(37,8%\). CfPWV values were significantly higher in patients with hypertension, abdominal obesity and in subsequent quartile ranges for the age of the respondents. There were no statistically significant correlations between cfPWN and diabetes mellitus, hipercholesterolemia, hipertriglicerydemia, cigarette smoking and family history in order to coronary disease incidences.There was a significant correlation \(p <0.001\) between cfPWV \(m \/ s\) and the overall cardiovascular risk by SCORE tables. CfPWV cut\-off point, according to. ROC curve for 5% risk of death during the 10 years \(by SCORE\) is 11,7m \/ s \- 58.6% sensitivity and 71.3% specificity.A significant increase in cfPWV and positive correlation has been demonstrated in patients with thickened IMT> 0.9 mm and the occurrence of atherosclerotic plaques \(p <0.001\). CfPWV values were significantly higher in patients with coronary artery disease \(13.6 ± 5.0 vs 12.6 ± 4.6 m \/ s, p = 0.005\). Based on the ROC analysis it was found that the value of cfPWV = 16.1 m \/ s preferably distinguishes patients with and without coronary artery disease \(p <0.001\). This value was characterized by a high specificity \(88.1%\) but very low sensitivity \(26.4%\).Conclusions\:1. The average value cfPWV in a random population aged for 12.9 m \/ s. The majority \(78%\) cfPWV value is greater than normal.2. In a randomized metropolitan Polish population in middle age \(from 45 to 70years\) coronary artery disease occurs in 27% of women and 23% men, and the most common risk factors in this population are hypercholesterolemia \(80%\), hypertension \(57%\) and cardiovascular disease in family history \(52%\), hypertriglyceridemia \(33.6%\), low levels of HDL cholesterol \(20.7 %\) and diabetes mellitus \(13.4%\).3. The most important risk factors are associated with cfPWV age, hypertension and obesity.4. CfPWV value that best identifies patients most at risk is 11.7 m \/ s patients with coronary heart disease is 16 m \/ s.5. The majority \(51%\) of this group is at high or very high risk estimated based on the SCORE tables or the occurrence of cardiovascular disease or diabetes mellitus.6. The value of cfPWV is increased in patients with atherosclerotic disease \(coronary heart disease, atherosclerotic plaque in the carotid arteries, the increased thickness of the intima\-media carotid artery\)."]
