Arteriosclerosis in early diagnosis and treatment of "Golden programme" (1)

Recently, the 12th International hypertension and related disease Conference held at the Beijing International Convention Center.

At the meeting, Japan cardiovascular disease diagnosis of authoritative experts, Tokyo Medical University Hospital of former Vice President, Director, Professor of Cardiology Shanke Professor and Deputy Director of Shanghai hypertension Research Institute Professor Wang Ji made a speech, fully affirmed the arteriosclerosis examination of international new indicators "ABI/baPWV" and hardening of the arteries in early diagnosis of clinical significance. For these two new indicators of measurement, the experts recommend using Omron arteriosclerosis diagnosis and treatment device for testing. It is learned that, from the Japan professional consultant, Omron's arteriosclerosis diagnosis device is unique in that it is able to accurately detect ABI/baPWV these two indicators, which reflect the Omron always walking in the medical field of science and technology.

Early detection of arteriosclerosis, it is time for life "Rob"

As China's aging population and diet changes, waist circumference, obesity, high triglycerides, HDL cholesterol low and high blood pressure, fasting blood glucose is high also continues to grow, and these factors can contribute to the formation of arteriosclerosis.

In recent years, with the insights of vascular lesions have gradually found: as the hardening of the arteries of the vascular wall lesions and their development by lumen lesions is the heart and brain diseases. If the coronary arteries are nutritional cardiomyopathy, when coronary sclerosis will make the heart of the blood supply is insufficient, serious heart disease will occur such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, etc. And when the body large arteriosclerosis, cause the blood pressure, hypertension, heart disease, etc. The consequences would be in the brain of arteriosclerosis is cerebral infarction, etc.

Experts say: arteriosclerosis is asymptomatic disease, in the early days, most patients don't have any clinical symptoms that are in hidden pick State latent development.

But only on vascular disease early detection, early detection and intervention can radically reduce their disability and death rate.

Early diagnosis of "Golden scenario" — the comprehensive testing ABI/baPWV indicators, accurate diagnosis of vascular disease

Traditional methods of arterial lesions mainly angiography and intravascular ultrasound.

But both methods are on atherosclerosis, late diagnosis and traumatic examination, a certain risk, not suitable for regular screening. From the current, pulse wave velocity (PWV) check in early detection, diagnosis, the advantage of arteriosclerosis.

PWV is judgment and cerebrovascular diseases are closely related to arterial hardening degree.

When using "when arteriosclerosis by cardiac output generated by the fluctuation of blood (pulse wave) of conduction velocity will speed up" the principle, measuring the same heart cycle pulse wave transmitted to different parts of the time difference to calculate the speed of the pulse wave conduction PWV, to determine the degree of elasticity of blood vessels. PWV can serve as a measure to the future with Atherosclerotic arterial coronary artery disease or risk factor assessment indicators. At the same time PWV on cardiovascular disease mortality is very meaningful independent predictors.

According to experts, the traditional measurement PWV is measuring carotid and femoral artery cfPWV between.

At present the latest research has shown that this indicator, baPWV is the measurement of ankle brachial artery and PWV between artery is the best and the most convenient, and at the same time, it has good cfPWV.

The experts also stressed: atherosclerosis is a systemic disease, when the patient due to Vascular Stenosis or occlusion pulse wave velocity decreases, even if the artery is hardening degree, baPWV (pulse wave velocity) may still show normal, only in combination with ABI (ankle upper arm blood pressure ratio) indicators for evaluation, you can check out a variety of accurate vascular lesions in patients.

ABI is caused by atherosclerosis hardening of the arteries judgment of lower extremity arterial stenosis and occlusion of the index.

By simultaneous measurement of blood pressure in the limbs, and ankle systolic pressure divided by upper arm systolic blood pressure in a high value results. According to ABI, you can determine the lower extremity arterial stenosis and occlusion of.
