There was a statistically significant difference in APV values before the treatment between the patient group (41.07±7.82 cm/sec) and the control group (58.75±5.19 cm/sec) (p<0.001). The statistical difference in APV values between the patient (54.35±8.28) and control groups disappeared after the treatment (p:0.822) and APV values showed a positive increase. In this study, APV values were lower in patients with hypertension compared to healthy individuals during the early periods of diagnosis, and a certain level of improvement was achieved in APV values with the hypertension treatment. © 2021, Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi.
