RESUMO
Objective To investigate the relationship between myeloperoxidase(MPO) and ankle brachial index(ABI) in patients with htypehypertension.Methods A total of 133 patients were enrolled in this study,and divided in to htypehypertention group(n=72),non-htypehypertension group(n=30) and normotension group(n=31).Their Hcy,ABI and MPO levels were measured and compared.Results The ABI in htypehypertention group and non-htypehypertension was significantly lower than that in normotension group (P<0.05),ABI in non-htypehypertension group was lower than that of htypehypertonsion group(P<0.05).MPO and CRP in the htypehypertension group was significant higher that those of normotension group(P<0.05).The ABI was negatively related with the serum MPO and CRP levels in htypehypertention group (r=-0.712,-0.722,P<0.05).Conclusion ABI is closely related with MPO,and play an important role in diagnosis of artery function impairment and high risk of htypehypertension patients.
