“…Psoriasis duration was thought to be a risk factor for arterial stiffness and atherosclerosis (26). In another study, the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity was found significantly higher in psoriasis patients than in controls, even after adjustment for age, gender, and CV risk factors (27). The extreme relative risk of MI seems to persist even after modification for the major risk factors for CVD, recommending that psoriasis might be regarded as an independent risk factor for MI (4).…”

“…1 Carotidfemoral PWV is the gold standard test for assessing central arterial stiffness; [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] however, it is valuable under experienced hands, so its applicability is mostly limited to research institutes. 19 Brachialankle PWV measurement is another method that is simple enough to use in clinical practice, as it only involves wrapping a pressure cuff around each of the four extremities.…”

A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Assesment of large arterial stiffness is increasingly used in clinal settings. Although there are several invasive and non-invasive methods such as carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AI), researchers and clinicians still face problems in selecting the best methodology for their specific use. PWV, which is defined as the velocity of the arterial pulse for moving along the vessel wall, plays an important clinical role in defining patients under high cardiovascular risk and it is inversely correlated with arterial elasticity and relative arterial compliance. PWV along the aorta can be measured by using two ultrasound or pressure sensitive transducers fixed transcutaneously over the course of a pair of arteries separated by a known distance: the femoral and right common carotid arteries. PWV is calculated from measurements of pulse transit time and the distance, according to the following formula: PWV (m/s)= distance (m)/transit time (s). AI is defined as Dp/pp (where Dp is the difference between the late systolic peak and the mid-systolic peak and pp is the amplitude of the pulse pressure wave). Central blood pressure and pulse pressure, the AI and PWV, which are often used incorrectly as interchangeable indexes of arterial stiffness, increase with age, hypertension, diabetes mellitus and hyperlipidemia, and are associated with target organ damage such as left ventricular hypertrophy, microalbuminuria, carotid intima-media thickness and endothelial dysfunction. Althouhg the carotid-femoral (aortic) PWV is the gold standard test for assessing central arterial stiffness, the AI reflects stiffness of the systemic arterial tree. This paper summaries the advantages and disadvantages of PWV and AI in the assessment of arterial stiffness. K Ke ey y W Wo or rd ds s: : Pulse; arteries; atherosclerosis; inflammation Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Büyük arterlerin sertliğinin değerlendirilmesi klinikte giderek artan sıklıkta kullanılmak-tadır. Arteriyel sertliğin değerlendirilmesinde karotid-femoral nabız dalga hızı ve artırma göster-gesi gibi invaziv ve non-invaziv yöntemler olmakla birlikte, araştırmacılar ve klinisyenler, bunların özgül kullanımları için en uygun yöntemi seçmede halen sorun yaşamaktadırlar. Nabız dalga hızı, arteriyel nabzın damar duvarı boyunca hareketinin hızı olarak tanımlanır ve arteriyel sertliğin bir göstergesi olarak yüksek kardiyovasküler risk altındaki hastaları tanımlamada önemli rol oynar. Arteryel elastisite ve rölatif arteriyel kompliyans ile ters ilişkilidir. Nabız dalga hızı aorta boyunca belli bir aralıkla ayrılmış bir çift arter boyunca (femoral ve sağ ana karotid arterler) transkütanöz yerleştirilmiş iki ultrason veya basınca duyarlı iletme sistemleri kullanılarak nabız transit zamanı ve uzaklık ölçümlerinden şu formüle göre hesaplanır: Nabız dalga hızı (m/s)=uzaklık (m)/ transit zamanı (s). Artırma göstergesi Dp/pp olarak tanımlanır (Dp: Geç sistolik zirve ve orta sistolik zirve arasındaki fark; pp: Nabız basınç dalgasının amplitüdü). Sıklıkla yanlış...

“…It is used as an indicator of arterial stiffness and plays an important clinical role in describing patients under high cardiovascular risk. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] PWV is inversely correlated with arterial elasticity and relative arterial compliance. Theoretically, the wave velocity (C0), in a thin-walled, uniform, elastic vessel containing an incompressible viscous fluid, with no reflections, can be expressed by the Moens-Korteweg equation: C0= √Eh/2ρR (E: Young's modulus of elasticity, h: wall thickness, R: mean radius, ρ: blood density).…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][18][19][20] In fact, the most important factor contributing to increased aortic PWV in humans is age because it causes increased arterial stiffness due to decreased elastin fiber, increased collagenous material and loss of arterial elasticity. [21][22][23] Increased medial calcification and endothelial dysfunction are also characteristics of arterial aging.…”
