Correlation between Pulse Sign and Arterial Function Index in Hypertension
Objective:To explore the relationship between pulse sign and arterial function indicators in patients with hypertension.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted in 193 patients with hypertension from 4 communities in Henan Province.Basic data such as age,body height,and weight of the patients were recorded.Pulse images with high frequency were selected and the patients were divided into 4 groups according to their pulse images:stringy pulse group(62 patients),deep pulse group(45 patients),slippery pulse group(44 patients),and thready pulse group(21 patients).The ankle-brachial index(ABI),ankle-brachial pulse propagation velocity(baPWV),pulse wave ascending time(UT),mean percentage arterial pressure(%MAP),and interarm systolic pressure difference(IASBPD)of the patients were measured by automatic arterial function instrument.The differences of general data and arterial function indexes of the four groups were compared by one-way analysis of variance.Results:The ankle brachial pulse propagation velocity(baPWV)of the string pulse group was higher than that of the other pulse groups.The%MAP in the slippery pulse was lower than that in the other groups.The ascending time of pulse wave in the stringy pulse group was less than that in the other groups.Conclusion:There is some correlation between pulse and arterial function,which is useful for clinical diagnosis of hypertension.
