Abstract
Background: Arterial pressure volume index (API) offers a non-invasive measurement of brachial artery residual stress. This study investigated API distribution characteristics and correlations with cardiovascular disease risk (CVD) factors in a large Chinese population sample.
Methods: This cross-sectional study surveyed a total of 7620 participants. We analyzed the relationships between API and factors influencing CVD, using regression-based stepwise backward selection and restrictive cubic spline models to express relationships as standardized beta values.
Results: Multiple linear regression analysis identified many independent factors influencing API including age, sex, body mass index (BMI), pulse pressure (PP), heart rate (HR), hemoglobin, uric acid (UA), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), triglyceride (TC), and a history of hypertension. Notably, API values increased at 33 and escalated with advancing age. Increases in API were associated with rises in PP and UA increases, particularly when PP reached 60 mmHg and the UA reached 525 units. Conversely, API was found to decrease with elevated HR and eGFR. Furthermore, there was a significant inverted U-shaped relationship between API and BMI.
Conclusions: This study was the first to describe API distribution characteristics in a large sample of the Chinese population, providing references for evaluating API changes in the assessment of residual stress variations in diverse diseases. Notably, API displayed a U-shaped relationship with age and was closely related to traditional CVD risk factors, underscoring its potential as a non-invasive tool for risk assessment in vascular health.
Clinical trial registration: This research was registered with the China Clinical Trial Registration Center (Registration Number: ChiCTR2000035937).
期刊介绍:
RCM is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal. RCM publishes research articles, review papers and short communications on cardiovascular medicine as well as research on cardiovascular disease. We aim to provide a forum for publishing papers which explore the pathogenesis and promote the progression of cardiac and vascular diseases. We also seek to establish an interdisciplinary platform, focusing on translational issues, to facilitate the advancement of research, clinical treatment and diagnostic procedures. Heart surgery, cardiovascular imaging, risk factors and various clinical cardiac & vascular research will be considered.
