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 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 کاملEvaluation of Arteriosclerotic Vascular Disease with a New Noble Stiffness Indicator, Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI)
Arterial stiffness is a well-known predictor of arteriosclerotic vascular disease. One index of arterial stiffness was the pulse wave velocity (PWV). But, it is known that PWV depends on the blood pressure at measuring time. Cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is derived from stiffness parameter beta, and reflects the stiffness of the artery from the origin of the aorta to the ankle as a whole. ...
متن کاملCorrelation of cardio-ankle vascular index, ten-year risk assessment and other atherosclerosis risk factors.
The aim of the study was to assess correlation of atherosclerosis severity as determined by two different methods of screening for atherosclerosis: (A) measurement of the cardio-ankle vascular index-CAVI by use of the VaseraVS-1500 vascular screening device, and (B) Framingham scale scoring. 52 subjects (28 male and 24 female) were enrolled in the study. Classification of study subjects into fo...
متن کاملClinical Significance of Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index as a Cardiovascular Risk Factor in Elderly Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Background The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a novel physiological marker of atherosclerosis that reflects systemic arterial stiffness. The aim of this study was to clarify the clinical significance of CAVI as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods This cross-sectional study enrolled 216 elderly (≥ 65 years) outpatie...
