Arterial stiffness as measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a widely available method in Thailand. Data from a large cross-sectional study revealed a significant correlation of CAVI and the presence of coronary artery disease as detected from 64-slice coronary computed tomography arteriography. Futhermore, CAVI was shown to predict long-term cardiovascular events in the patients with intermediate cardiovascular risk.
通过心踝血管指数(CAVI)测量的动脉僵硬度在泰国是一种广泛可用的方法。一项大型横断面研究的数据显示,CAVI与通过64层冠状动脉计算机断层扫描血管造影检测出的冠状动脉疾病的存在之间存在显著相关性。此外,CAVI被证明可以预测心血管风险中等的患者的长期心血管事件。
