Abstract:
Vascular aging refers to degenerative changes in vascular structure and function.Based on speckle-tracking echocardiography, velocity vector imaging can be used to comprehensively evaluate the mechanical characteristics and wall functions in the process of vascular aging and plays an important role in the early detection and treatment of vascular age-related diseases by accurately locating the vessels and three-dimensionally evaluating the velocity, strain and strain rate in different directions.In this article, the application of this technique in the evaluation of vascular aging and related diseases including hypertension, diabetes and atherosclerosis is described.
