In a subgroup of 337 participants (mean age 64±9 years; 45% women) from the Systolic Blood Pressure Intervention Trial (SPRINT), where participants were randomly assigned to intensive treatment (target systolic blood pressure (SBP)<120 mmHg) versus standard treatment (<140 mmHg), we examined the effect of intensive BP lowering on indexes of aortic stiffness. Carotid-femoral pulse-wave velocity (cfPWV), a validated global measure of aortic stiffness, was measured by echo-guided Doppler at baseline and 18-month follow-up visit. Aortic elastance, distensibility, and compliance were measured by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. During follow-up, the intensive treatment produced a mean between-group reduction in SBP of 12.7 mmHg (95% confidence interval (CI):11.1–14.3 mm Hg). During follow-up, intensive treatment significantly attenuated the increase in cfPWV compared to standard treatment [adjusted follow-up least square mean (LSM) =9.0 m/sec (95% CI: 8.7–9.3) versus 10.0 m/sec (9.6–10.3); p<0.001], an effect that persisted even after adjusting for mean arterial pressure. Intensive treatment also decreased the aortic elastance index [LSM=1.38 mm Hg/mL/m2 (95% CI: 1.34–1.41) vs 1.48 mm Hg/mL/m2 (95% CI: 1.44–1.51), p=0.002] compared to standard treatment. No significant between-group differences were observed for aortic distensibility and compliance. We conclude that intensive treatment significantly attenuated increases in cfPWV and aortic elastance index. Attenuation of increases in aortic stiffness may be one of the mechanisms contributing to the benefit of intensive BP treatment observed in SPRINT.
