| Database objective | |
| Main objective | General objective: to evaluate the influence of haemodynamic, biological, and environmental factors on the progression of arterial stiffness in normotensive and hypertensive subjects, as well as role of genetic determinants. The first medium-term evaluation was carried out after 6 years of monitoring 680 patients (1998-1999). A second long-term evaluation is planned for the year 2008-2009 i.e. 10 years after the last evaluation. Secondary objectives: - To investigate haemodynamic, biological, and genetic determinants for telomere attrition (determinant in cellular ageing) over a period of 10 years (between 1999 and 2009) - To establish the relationship between arterial stiffness, parietal hypertrophy and carotid plaque during different visits. |
| Inclusion criteria | Normotensive and hypertensive subjects recruited and examined in preventative investigation centres and clinics in Paris (IPC - health examination clinics authorised by social security and CNAM) for assessment |
