Implication

SAEI reduction was associated with diffuse CAD; leaves open whether arterial elasticity measurement aids noninvasive CAD burden assessment.

Does noninvasive measurement of arterial compliance reflect angiographic coronary artery disease burden in patients evaluated for CAD?

Population

151 patients evaluated for coronary artery disease

Intervention

Measurement of large and small arterial elasticity indices (LAEI and SAEI) using the PulseWave Sensor HDI device on the radial artery

Comparator

Comparison across three groups based on angiographic status: diffuse-CAD (stenosis length >15 mm), focal-CAD (stenosis length 1-15 mm), and no-CAD

Outcome

Association between arterial elasticity indices (LAEI and SAEI) and angiographic coronary artery statussurrogate

Noninvasive measurement of arterial compliance, particularly the small arterial elasticity index, may serve as a diagnostic marker for identifying patients with diffuse atherosclerotic coronary artery disease.
