Value of arteriosclerosis index combined with pulse pressure index in predicting degree of coronary artery lesions in patients with coronary heart disease
Objective To analyze the value of arteriosclerosis index combined with pulse pressure index in predicting the degree of coronary artery lesions in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods Seventy-two patients with CHD were selected,and divided into single-branch group(21 cases),double-branches group(34 cases)and three-branches group(17 cases)according to the number of lesioned coronary arteries.Arteriosclerosis index and pulse pressure index were compared among the three groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between the indexes and the degree of coronary artery lesions.ROC curve was drawn to analyze the predictive value of the combined index.Results The arteriosclerosis index and Gensini score of the three-branches group were higher than those of the other two groups,and the pulse pressure index was higher than that of the single-branch group.Arteriosclerosis index and Gensini score in the double-branches group were higher than those in the single-branch group(P<0.05).The arteriosclerosis index and pulse pressure index were both positively correlated with Gensini score.ROC curve was drawn taking the double-and three-branches groups as a whole and the single-branch group as the control.The results showed that arteriosclerosis index and pulse pressure index had certain predictive value for the degree of coronary artery disease in patients with CHD(AUC=0.897 and 0.697,respectively),and the combined detection had greater predictive value(AUC=0.924).Conclusion Arteriosclerosis index and pulse pressure index are closely related to the degree of coronary artery disease in patients with CHD.The combined detection of the two indexes has greater predictive value for the degree of coronary artery disease.
