Application Of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index In Patients With Coronary Heart Disease

Objective To explore the value of Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods A total of38participants who underwent coronary angiography were enrolled in the current study. They were divided into4groups according to the number of stenotic vessels on CAG; no lesion (OVD),1-vessel (1VD),2-vessel (2VD) and3-vessel (3VD) groups.CAVI measurement and conventional biochemical indicators inspection were performed.Results CAVI was significantly higher in1VD,2VD and3VDgroup compared with the OVD group (p<0.01).Simple linear regression analysis identified CAVI was positively related to the severity of coronary heart disease. Logisitic regression analysis results show that age, smoking history, hypertension, diabetes, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and CAVI are coronary heart disease’s severity risk factors (P<0.05).Conclusions CAVI and the severity of coronary heart disease have a close relationship. CAVI check help to predict the severity of coronary artery disease, and the operation is simple, noninvasive, clinical basic-level hospitals especially worthy of popularization and application.
