Application of non-invasive detection of atherosclerosis in healthy physical examination

ObjectiveTo explore the clinical significance of non-invasive detection of atherosclerosis technology in healthy physical examination.

MethodsTwo hundred and forty healthy physical examination people were divided into group A (80 cases, 20 to 40 years old), group B (120 cases, 40 to 60 years old) and group C (40 cases, more than 60 years old).The pulse wave speed (PWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI) and pulse pressure index (PPI) in three groups were detected and analyzed.

ResultsThe differences of the PWV, ABI and PPI between group A and B were statistically significant (P < 0.05 to P < 0.01).The differences of the PWV and PPI between group A and C were statistically significant (P < 0.01).The differences of the PWV and PPI between group B and C were statistically significant (P < 0.01).

ConclusionsThe non-invasive detection of atherosclerosis technology can early screen and diagnose the atherosclerosis, which has great clinical significance, and is worth popularizing in healthy physical examination.
