Abstract

Objectives: To find out the relationship between PWV with some risk factors, severity of coronary artery lesions assessed by SYNTAX score in patients with chronic ischemic heart disease (CIHD). Subjects and methods: This cross-sectional study. The patient group included 60 patients with CIHD (defined as angiographic percent diameter stenosis ≥ 50%). The control group included 33 patients had normal coronary angiography, who underwent PWV measurement at Cardiovascular Center, 103 Military Hospital from November 2020 to April 2021. Results: The average age of the control group and the CIHD group was 67,05 ± 12,04 and 67,67±6,80, respectively. The mean PWV of CIHD group (15,90±1,49 m/s) was higher than control group (13,32±1,98 m/s), p<0,05. There were moderate correlations between PWV and SYNTAX score (r=0,477; p<0,05). The cut-off value of PWV to predict of coronary artery stenosis was 14,45 m/s, sensitivity of 86,0%, specificity  66,67%, p<0.05. Conclusion: The mean PWV of CIHD group was higher than control group. There were moderate correlations between PWV and SYNTAX score. The cut-off value of PWV to predict of coronary artery stenosis was 14,45 m/s.
