踝臂指数与动脉硬化性疾病的相关性研究进展

Research progress on ankle-brachial indexes clinically used in arteriosclerosis diseases

近年来,踝臂指数作为无创、简单易行的检查动脉硬化的手段被广泛应用于临床,其与大动脉硬化程度密切相关。国内外研究显示,踝臂指数能够有效监测下肢外周血管疾病、心血管疾病以及脑血管疾病的发生及病变程度,并对其复发有一定的预测作用,这对于筛查、评估以及早期诊断动脉硬化性疾病,更好地防止和延缓疾病的发生发展具有重要意义。故重点就踝臂指数在动脉硬化性疾病应用中的研究进展进行综述。

In recent years,ankle-brachial index has been widely used in clinical practice as a noninvasive and simple method for detecting atherosclerosis. It is closely related to the severity of atherosclerosis. The researches have shown that ankle-brachial index can monitor the peripheral arterial disease,cardiovascular disease and eerebrovascular disease,as well as the severity of these diseases,and is a predictor of recurrence,which for screening,predicting, evaluating and early diagnosing atherosclerotic diseases, better preventing has the vital significance and postpone the progression of disease. This paper focus on research progress on clinical and nursing usefulness of ankle-brachial index in arteriosclerosis disease.
