Abstract
Background and Aim: Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are among the most widely prescribed agents. Although PPIs are widely regarded as harmlesss, long-term use of PPIs (LTUPPI) can have the potential to increase the risk of developing cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is a good indicator of arterial stiffness. Several studies show a relationship between LTUPPI and CVD. However, the association between LTUPPI and PWV or arterial stiffness has not been reported.
Patients and Methods: Patients (n=64) with LTUPPI and controls (n=91) were included. PWV, glucose, creatinine, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, cholesterol, highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol, and magnesium levels were measured.
Results: In the LTUPPI group, PWV was greater than in controls (9.08±2.04 vs. 7.77±1.52 m/s, respectively, p=0.01); 34.4% of patients and 8.8% of controls had PWV levels >10 m/s (p=0.000). Multiple logistic regression analysis showed age (p<0.001) and LTUPPI (p=0.024) as predictors of elevated PWV.
Conclusion: PWV values are increased in patients with LTUPPI compared to controls independently of conventional CV risk factors. Measurement of PWV and other arterial stiffness parameters in cases with LTUPPI may be useful to predict possible CVD. Studies involving greater numbers are needed to confirm these findings.
