Association of Arterial Stiffness Indices with Framingham Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score

Purpose: The new non-invasive arterial stiffness indices, velocity pulse index (AVI) and pressure volume (API) are known to be associated with cardiovascular disease risk. present study aimed examine the “dose-response” associations between AVI, API Framingham risk score (FCVRS). Methods: This survey included individuals indices collected at age 18 years older. We used Pearson’s correlation coefficients multivariate linear analyses evaluate of AVI other variables. FCVRS were analyzed by restrictive cubic spline. Results: 4311 people in full population, including 2091 males 2220 females. In restricted spline regression models, or had significant U-shaped FCVRS, lowest was 8 units units, respectively. After increased 12 rapidly until 27 relatively flat afterward. For API, results similar. When 23 rapidly, after 52 flat. Conclusions: FCVRS. may provide a perspective for early treatment lifestyle modifications prevent diseases.
