Abstract
Patients with coronary heart disease, have demonstrated growing vascular wall stiffness, which is manifested in higher pulse wave velocity (p < 0.001) and augmentation index (p < 0.001) compared with healthy individuals. Whereas in the multifocal atherosclerosis (coronary, carotid and peripheral arteries) were higher AA (p < 0.05), AIx (p < 0.001), PWV (p < 0.01) and the age of patients (p < 0.01). That allows to consider the studied parameters of vascular stiffness as surrogate markers to assess prevalence and progression of atherosclerosis, as well as the effectiveness of pharmacological interventions.
