Noninvasive measurement of pulse wave detector in the Senior Center of arterial pressure.doc

 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 9 Noninvasive measurement of pulse wave detector in the Senior Center of arterial pressure Of: Li Zhimin Li Qiang Hu Jian Sun Jian Mao Ying [Keywords:] non-invasive measurement, central aortic pressure ASCOT CAF study confirmed that, compared with peripheral arterial pressure, central aortic pressure (CAP and cardiovascular diseases are more closely associated with the end of the event, in assessing the incidence of cardiovascular disease and development of peripheral arterial blood pressure was also superior to (1). Present central arterial pressure depends mainly on the detection of invasive and noninvasive methods available. invasive method for clinical determination of central aortic pressure the most accurate method, but clinical measurement of central aortic pressure directly on the method of invasive, cumbersome, patients with low compliance, indicators should not use this clinical observation, the performance in elderly patients especially, but not invasive measurement of pulse reflection by the gain index, pulse wave, and brachial artery blood pressure, and then calculated by the conversion equation, this method directly and invasive more related to good manometry (2,3). radial pulse wave detector fixed (HEM9000AI, Ormon Colin Co. is based on the principle of pulse transmission and development of a central aortic pressure testing a new device, with non-invasive, simple, convenient characteristics. This study aimed to assess the radial pulse wave detector moving in the elderly population blood pressure test center application. 1 Materials and Methods 1.1 Object January 2007 to June 2009 between the Department of Cardiology, hospital stay, disease diagnosis and treatment need to be carried out through the radial artery coronary angiography were age older than 60 years of 43 patients (60 to 82 years old, younger than 38 patients 60 years of age (41 to 59 years of age as a control group.
