A study on the relationship between brachial ankle pulse wave velocity and coronary artery disease
Objective:To investigate the relationship between Brachial ankle pulse wave velocity(baPWV)and coronary artery disease
and to evaluate the prognosis of patients with coronary artery disease.Methods:To measure baPWV of 52 patients with coronary artery dis-ease and 74 patients without coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary artery angiography
and explore the relationship between baP-WV and Gensini scores by linear-correlated analysis.Results:baPWV is significantly increased in patients with coronary artery disease
and it is related to Gensini scores.Conclusions:Our results suggest that baPWV is related to severity of coronary artery disease.
