Abstract:
Objective To discuss the correlation of ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI)and microalbuminuria (MAU)in the elderly patients with atherosclerosis.Methods A total of 89 elderly patients with atherosclerosis were divided into two groups, patients with MAU positive as observation group,MAU negative patients as control group.To measure the intimal thickness (IMT)and calculate the AASI.Compared the IMT and AASI of two groups,and correlation analysis and multiple regression analy-sis were carried on.Results The IMT and AASI of observation group were higher than those of the control group,the differences between the two groups were statistical significant (P <0.05).The correlation analysis showed that AASI and MAU,IMT were positively correlated.Multiple regression analysis showed that AASI and MAU had positive correlation.Conclusion Microalbumin-uria has the vital significance in the elderly with atherosclerosis.
