Assessment 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 کاملStroke 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 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 کاملEffects of telmisartan on arterial stiffness assessed by the cardio-ankle vascular index in hypertensive patients.
BACKGROUND/AIMS This study was conducted to determine the effect of telmisartan on the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), a novel blood pressure (BP)-independent marker for arterial stiffness in hypertensive patients. METHODS One hundred consecutive hypertensive patients were randomly assigned either to a group treated with calcium channel blocker (CCB)-based therapy or a group treated with ...
متن کاملCardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) as a novel indicator of arterial stiffness: theory, evidence and perspectives.
The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new index of the overall stiffness of the artery from the origin of the aorta to the ankle. The most conspicuous feature of CAVI is its independence of blood pressure at the time of measurement.CAVI increases with age and in many arteriosclerotic diseases, such as coronary artery disease, carotid arteriosclerosis, chronic kidney disease and cerebrovas...
