Key result
The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a feasible and important screening tool for assessing arterial stiffness in patients with cerebrovascular diseases, particularly stroke patients.
Why the study?
The publication focuses on the feasibility and application of using the cardio-ankle vascular index in patients with cerebrovascular diseases.
The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is highlighted as a promising screening tool for assessing arterial stiffness in patients with cerebrovascular diseases, particularly stroke.
This publication focuses on the feasibility of using the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) in patients with cerebrovascular diseases. The authors consider the pathological conditions and risk factors of stroke associated with increased arterial stiffness, methods for its assessment, the advantages of using CAVI, the experience of using CAVI in patients with cardiovascular diseases, in particular, in neurological patients. The complexity of the application of CAVI in the Russian population, promising directions for determining the index in neurology as well as the importance of CAVI borderline indicators are shown. It is emphasized that stroke patients should be screened with a mandatory study of CAVI.
