 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 21 Pulse wave velocity and ankle brachial index and risk factors of coronary heart disease in the clinical application of testing [Keywords:] pulse wave velocity, ankle brachial index, coronary heart disease, arteriosclerosis, risk factors With the improvement of living standards, lifestyles and habits change, the incidence of atherosclerotic disease has gradually increased. Coronary heart disease is the development of atherosclerosis can cause organ damage results, is part of systemic atherosclerotic disease, human health great harm. early detection of pre-clinical atherosclerotic lesions (preclinieal atherosclerosis, PCA) and make timely and effective intervention for cardiovascular disease and events is key and fundamental measures. have been suffering from coronary heart disease patients, timely and effective , the correct diagnosis, treatment and long-term protection for the heart to reduce complications and mortality, improve quality of life is essential. Therefore, the risk factors for coronary heart disease and its long-term monitoring and detection is particularly necessary. At present, coronary heart disease Check the many ways in recent years, atherosclerosis, arterial pulse wave device on the patient (PWV and ankle brachial index (ABI) testing, with its non-invasive, simple, accurate and reproducible advantage in research and clinical epidemiology In practice, check the patient for arterial stiffness and vascular stenosis played a positive role, so as to hardening of the arteries of early detection and prevention of disease has contributed to [1]. With in-depth study, PWV / ABI increasingly wide range of inspection applications , particularly in cardiovascular applications greater progress. This article PWV / ABI and its risk factors in coronary heart disease in the clinical application of testing were reviewed. 1 PWV / ABI Overview PWV is the heart pumping arterial pulse along the wall caused by the proximal end to
