ABSTRACT
Objective To survey the status of aspirin application asautiplatelet therapy for secondary prevention of coronary artery disease (CAD) in Beijing communities.Methods A cross-sectional survey on status of aspirin use was conducted among 60 communities in Beijing from September 2014 to January 2015.Items of survey included the duration of aspirin application,aspirin dosage,application time,reasons for interruption and reasons for non-application.Results Total 61 000 questionnaires were delivered and 56 969 valid ones were retrieved with a recovery of 93.39％.The aspirin application rate was 78.22％ (15 105/19 311)among patients with diagnosed CAD,while that was 81.42％ (1 319/1 620) among patients with self-reported CAD (x2=9.06,P＜0.01).There was no effect of early cardiovascular disease family history on aspirin application among patients with diagnosed CAD (P =0.77).Among the patients with diagnosed CAD,the reasons of no aspirin application were:rejection with unknown reasons,worry about stomach side effects,clopidogrel application,not suitable subjectsand other antiplatelet drugs application.Conclusions The proportion of aspirin application is relatively high among coronary artery disease patients in Beijing communities.The results of survey provide the direction of patient education in the future.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the vascular compliance markers (C1 and C2) and pulse wave velocity in relative with other physiological indexes in a cohort of young normotensive people in Beijing. Methods Two hundred and seventy normotensive volunteers (112 men and 158 women aged 16 to 30 years) were invovled,completed questionnaires of demographic information. Large (C1) and small (C2) arterial compliance were derived from arterial pulse wave contour analysis. Pulse wave velocity(carotid-femoral PWV and carotid-radial PWV)was determined by Complior SP. Results In both male and female C1 correlated positively with height and weight,and negatively with systolic(SBP),mean arterial blood pressure(MAP),pulse pressure(PP),and heart rate(HR),in which PP showed the best correlation with C1;C2 was inversely related with SBP,diastolic blood pressure(DBP),MAP and HR,in which SBP showed the best correlation with C2;cfPWV correlated positively with DBP and age,crPWV correlated positively with age,DBP,height and weight. Conclusion Blood pressure,heart rate were the important influential factors of large and small arterial compliance in both males and females,while diastolic blood pressure was determinant for pulse wave velocity.
