Abstract

Objectives: research about relationship between Ankle-Brachial Index, Brachial-Ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and coronary artery disease severrity assessed in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional registry study was done at 103 military hospital  Cardiovascular Center in patients with acute myocardial infarction and controls from November 2020 to April 2021. Results: 93 subjects including 60 patients with AMI (mean age 67,05 ± 12,04) and 33 without CAD (mean age 67,67±6,80) were enrolled in the study. Patients with AMI had significantly higher PWV and lower ABI as compared to controls (15,90±1,49 vs 13,32±1,98; p<0,01), (1,04±0,10 vs 1,12±0,13; p<0,01). The ABI ≥0.9 did not show any correlation with the number of branches and the degree of coronary artery injury. PWV was associated with number of diseased coronary artery (15,25±1,09  so với 16,22±1,57). There were strong correlations between PWV and SYNTAX score((r=0,477; p<0,01). Conclusion: This study provided the frank direct evidence in a cross-sectional investigation that PWV is associated with the extent of coronary artery disease.
