Abstract:
The study on the relationship between systole pressure index (SPI) in arm and ankle having cardiovascular risk and antherosclerosis side-effect of increasing pressure patients shows: there is an exist of inverse relationship between SPI having cardiovascular risk and clinical signals and pre-clinical signals as well of having cardiovascular of high pressure patients. SPI reduced in high pressure patients. The more SPI decreases, the higher of cardiovascular risk is. SPI is a reliable index to diagnose leg artery. SPI lower than 1 is a factor strictly relating to antherosclerosis side-effect
