Correlation Analysis Between Ambulatory Arterial Stiffness Index and Prognosis in Patients with Coronary Heart Disease / 医学研究杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the AASI in the prognosis of patients with coronary heart disease by investigating the correlation between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and degree of coronary artery stenosis and risk score.Methods A total of 187 patients admitted to our hospital with diagnosis of coronary heart disease from Januaty 2015 to June 2016 were grouped by AASI.We compared the data in different groups about common character,coronary lesion count and investigate the correlation between ambulatory arterial stiffness index and Gensini scores and GRACE score.Results The general clinical datathere were no significant differences in male patients,the proportion of smoking,blood lipids,urea nitrogen (BUN),creatinine (Cr),body mass index (BMI) between the two groups.Significant differences were observed in older patients and those with hypertension and diabetes.The number of disease dvessels,three vascular lesions in the increased AASI group was more than normal AASI group.AASI was correlated with total Gensini scores positively.AASI was correlated with GRACE score positively.Conclusion AASI not only helps estimate the degree of coronary artery stenosis lesions,but also can be used to predict the prognosis of coronary heart disease.
