Abstract:
Mective To study the correlation of ambulatory arterial stiffness index(AASI)and pule wave velocity(PWV),explore the evaluation of AASI on arterial stiffness and analyze the influential factors of AASI.Method One hundred patients were selected,brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)of all patients wag measured,simultaneously 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure Wag examined, calculated AASI.AASI and baPWV were analyzed with correlation and regression analysis.Results AASI Wagpositively and signifieandy correlatedwithPWV(r＝0.516,P＜0.01)and age(r＝0.417,P＜0.01). AASIWag negatively correlatedwithbody height(r＝-0.223,P＜0.05).Themultiplefactor stepwise regres-sion analysis showed that the regression of AASl with PWV were great significant.Conclusions AASI is positively and significantly correlated with PWV.It is a novel meagure ofartdrial stiffness.
