Arterial Function

• Endothelial function

• Conduit function

• Dampening function

Endothelial Function

• Vascular tone– Flow Mediated Dilatation

• Coagulation

system– Measuring soluble

markers

Conduit Function

• Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI),

Intima-Media Thickness (IMT)

• Impaired by occlusive lesions

– Atherosclerosis

– Medium sized conduit artery

– Coronary/Cerebral artery

Dampening Function

• Stiffness, Distensibility, Compliance

• Impaired by arterial stiffening

– Arteriosclerosis

– Large sized elastic artery

– Aorta/Carotid artery

• Decreased in arterial

occlusive disease – ABI ≥ 1.0: normal

– ABI 0.8 - 1.0: mild occlusion

– ABI 0.5 - 0.8: moderate

occlusion

– ABI ≤ 0.5: severe occlusion

Pulse wave velocity

• CV Risk factors ass with increased PWV– Increasing age / Hypercholesterolemia

– Type II diabetes / Sedentary lifestyle

• CAD and PWV in hypertensives– ↑ all cause mortality(OR = 1.34 / ↑5m/sec)

– ↑ CV mortality(OR = 1.51 / ↑5m/sec)

– ↑ mortality( PWV > 13m/sec)

• Progression of PWV– ↑ in Cr>8mg/dl

– Normotensive < Controlled HTN < HTN

• Reduction of PWV results in ↓ mortality in ESRF pt– RR of 0.71 for all cause mortality / ↓ 1m/sec PWV

Relating change in diameter (or area) of an

artery to distending pressure

• CV risk factors and Carotid Distensibility– Hypertensives vs Normotensives : CCA

• DistMAP: Hyper > Normo

• Dist100,Dist110 : Hyper = Normo

• Distending pressure alone is determinant

– Aging• ↑ age ↑Dist100

• structural change of arterial wall during aging process

– Dist using IVUS• Age, CHD, Hypertension, Hypercholesterolemia, Acutely after smoking ↓ Dist

– Dist using MRI• Age, diastolic HF ↓ Dist

• Clinical outcome and Carotid Distensibility– ↓ Dist of Carotid a. all cause mortality in ESRF pt

Systolic Pulse Contour Analysis(SPCA)

• CV risk factors and radial AIx

– AIx increased in old age, type I DM,

hypercholesterolemia

• Clinical outcome and Carotid AIx

– ↑ AIx ↓ exercise capacity in CHD pt

– ↑ AIx all-cause & CV mortality in ESRF pt

even in pt with normal PWV

(<11m/sec)

Diastolic Pulse Contour Analysis(DPCA)

• Two component of diastolic wave form

– C1(Large artery compliance) : exponential decay curve

– C2(Small artery compliance) : other component

• Marker for early vascular disease

• CV risk factors and DPCA

– ↓ C1 is ass with

• ↑ SBP

– ↓ C2 is ass with

• Type II DM, Meopaused women with CHD, Smoking

Determinant of Arterial Function

• FMD (functional) ; SBP, Hb A1c, Cr

• IMT (anatomical) ; age, HTN, SBP, DM, FBS,

Hb A1c, LDL, smoking, homocysteine

• ABI (stenosis) ; SBP, Hb A1c

• PWV (mechanical nature) ; age, HTN, SBP

Different Mechanisms

Future

• New parameters to stratify CV risk

• New therapeutic target to reduce CV risk

• Before wide acceptance

– Standardization

– Consider the confounding factors
