Stroke and Cardio-Ankle Vascular Stiffness Index: A Clinical Use
Stroke is the most common cause of neurological disability and impairs quality of life, resulting in early institutionalization. Atherosclerosis is a major contributor to stroke, which can be prevented by early recognition and management. Cardioankle vascular stiffness index (CAVI) was introduced clinically as a novel, simple and non-invasive measure in the assessment of atherosclerosis. CAVI i...
متن کاملAssociation between Diagonal Earlobe Crease and Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index in Asymptomatic Hypertensive Patients
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the association between earlobe crease (ELC) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in asymptomatic hypertensive subjects. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 75 subjects with ELC and 75 age- and gender-matched patients without ELC were prospectively selected from subjects admitted to the Outpatient Cardiology Clinic. ELC was assigned to a perso...
متن کاملAssessment of Arterial Stiffness Using the Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index.
BACKGROUND Arterial stiffness is an independent predictor of outcomes for patients with cardiovascular disease. Although measurement of pulse wave velocity is a widely accepted, noninvasive approach for the assessment of arterial stiffness, its accuracy is affected by changes in blood pressure. SUMMARY The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is an index of the overall stiffness of the artery f...
متن کاملCardio-ankle vascular index in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia.
AIM The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new non-invasive marker of arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to compare CAVI in patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) and in healthy controls. METHODS 82 FH subjects (27 males, 65 females), aged 53.7±13.6 years without clinical symptoms of cardiovascular diseases and 359 healthy control...
متن کاملEffect of nitroglycerin administration on cardio-ankle vascular index
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to clarify the difference between effects of nitroglycerin (NTG) on the functional stiffness in patients with and without coronary artery disease (CAD) using a newly developed stiffness index, cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). SUBJECTS AND METHODS The two subject groups in this study were normal controls (n=31) and CAD patients (n=25). The normal contro...
