Bapwv(brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity) and Abi (Ankle Brachial Index) in the Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate ABI, baPWV by Omron VP 1000 Plus in ischemic heart disease patients; and find out the relationship between ABI, baPWV and risk factors, number of coronary artery branches lesions, Gensini index. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional study on 63 ischemic heart disease patients admitted to Department of Cardiology Hue University Hospital, all of them agree to participate in research.. Results: The average ABI was 1.05 ± 0.11 on the right; 1.08 ± 0.10 on the left. This difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.278). ABI ≤ 0.9 accounted for 9.52%; accounted for 30.16% from 0.91 to 0.99. The average of right baPWV was 1926.33 ± 477.39 cm/s; left baPWV is 1966.33 ± 533.47 cm/s (p = 0.634). baPWV> 17 m/s, accounted for 73.01%; from 14-17 m/s: 12.7%. There is a difference of the minABI, maxbaPWV between stable angina and acute coronary syndrome group (p<0.05), between minABI, maxbaPWV in 1 vessel lesion group and multi-vessels lesions group (p <0.05). Moderate negative correlation between minABI and Gensini index (r = -0.43; p <0.01). Strong correlation between maxbaPWV and Gensini index (r = 0.605; p <0.01). Conclusion: ABI and baPWV can be used to predict coronary artery lesions in ischemic heart disease patients.
