PWV和中心动脉压及周围动脉压差值的关系.pdfVIP

Conclusion: The femoral systolic pressure is higher than aorta systolic pressure. Both aortic and femoral arterial pressure were highly correlated to C-F PWV. Changes in femoral arterial pressure induced by sympathetic stimulation indicate lesions in coronary artery, however, its role in predicting the severity of coronary lesions need to be further investigated. Changes in PWV also only indicated coronary lesion, but can not be used to reflect the severities of coronary artery disease. KEY WORDS: Pulse wave velocity, central aorta
