据报道，动脉粥样硬化在心脏移植后进展迅速。心脏移植后动脉粥样硬化的诊断需要定量诊断。在本研究中，我们比较了肱-踝关节脉搏波速度（baPWV）和心-踝关节血管指数（CAVI）进行诊断。7例心脏移植术后的baPWV和CAVI的平均值均明显大于同年龄组正常健康人的平均值。在某例心脏移植前后比较，CAVI稳定，而baPWV变化剧烈。许多参数如血压、血容量等都有影响baPWV的报道。本研究结果表明，即使在心脏移植后，与baPWV相比，CAVI是一个稳定的参数。因此，CAVI可能有助于心脏移植后动脉硬化的诊断。(c) 2005 Elsevier SAS。版权所有。
Atherosclerosis has been reported to progress rapidly after heart transplantation. A quantitative diagnosis is required for the diagnosis of atherosclerosis after heart transplantation. In this study, we compared brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) for the diagnosis. The average values of both baPWV and CAVI in the seven cases after heart transplantation were found to be significantly large in comparison to the average values of the normal healthy people of the same age group. When comparisons were made before and after the heart transplantation in a particular case, CAVI was stable and baPWV changed sharply. A lot of parameters such as blood pressure, blood volume, etc. have been reported to influence baPWV. The results of this study suggested that CAVI was a stable parameter in comparison to baPWV even after heart transplantation. Thus, CAVI may be useful in the diagnosis of arteriosclerosis after heart transplantation. (c) 2005 Elsevier SAS. All rights reserved.
