Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases have become the most common and most prevalent chronic diseases in the elderly.Smoking, hyperlipidemia, diabetes and other high-risk factors participate in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis by impairing the structure and function of the vascular wall, resulting in the occurrence of arterial stiffness.Pulse wave conduction velocity(PWV) is the rate at which a pulse wave travels from one specific location of the artery to another specific location along the wall of the artery.It is a simple, effective and repeatable noninvasive index for evaluating arterial elasticity and vascular function.PWV is closely related to cardiovascular disease.In recent years, the relationship between PWV and cardiovascular disease has been deeply studied.The relationship between PWV and coronary heart disease, hypertension, cardiac function, atrial fibrillation and pulmonary hypertension is described in this paper.
