Noninvasive arterial stiffness examination evaluates cardiac insufficiency in patients with chronic heart failure
Objective To investigate the significance of noninvasive arterial stiffness examination in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). Methods A total of 110 patients with chronic heart failure and admitted in our hospital from October 2008 to January 2009 were subjected in this study. They were divided into 3 groups according to their cadiac function varied from class Ⅱ-Ⅳ (NYHA). There were 50 patients in NYHA Ⅱ group
30 in Ⅲ group
and 300 in VI group. Measurement of these parameters
including the cardioankle vascular index (CAVI)
ankle-brachial index (ABI)
left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)
plasma aldosterone (ALD)
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
high sensitive reaction protein C (Hs-CRP) were measured
and the relationship among these parameters were analyzed. Results CAVI in Ⅲ group and Ⅳ group was obviously higher than that in group Ⅱ (P0.05). Plasma ALD
BNP and Hs-CRP were significantly higher in the group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ than in group Ⅱ (P0.05). Color Doppler echocardiography indicated that group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ had obviously decreased LVEF compared with the group Ⅱ (P0.05). CAVI was positively correlated with ALD
BNP and Hs-CRP respectively (r=0.344
0.434
0.406
P0.05)
and negatively correlated with LVEF(r=-0.678
P0.05). Conclusion CAVI and ABI have equal value to evaluate arteriosclerosis degree. But the former is simple
reliable and non-invasive
and makes more comprehensive evaluation in cardiac function for cardiac patients with CHF and has the sound correlation with the traditional non-invasive indexes.
