Radial augmentation index: A useful and easily obtainable parameter for vascular aging
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: It has been shown that the systolic augmentation index (AI) in the central arteries, including the aorta and carotid arteries, changes with age. The AI can also be obtained from the peripheral arteries. The possible usefulness of AI obtained from the radial artery as an index for vascular aging was investigated. METHODS: Radial arterial waveforms were obtained from 632 subjects with no cardiovascular disease, using radial tonometry. Radial AI was calculated as follows: (Second peak systolic blood pressure [SBP2] - diastolic blood pressure [DBP]) / (first peak SBP - DBP) x100 (%). RESULTS: Radial AI was significantly higher in women than in men (81.1% +/- 16.1% compared with 69.5% +/- 16.3%, P < .001). Radial AI was positively related to age in healthy men and women (r = 0.619, P < .001, and r = 0.644, P < .001, respectively). When comparing subjects in their 20s to those in their 70s, radial AI increased 1.56 times (from 53.2% to 83.0%) in men and 1.49 times (from 64.6% to 96.4%) in women. Multiple regression analysis showed that age is a potent predictor of radial AI in addition to gender, DBP and pulse rate. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that simple and easily-obtainable radial AI is age-dependent and could be a useful index of vascular aging.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
