Abstract:To detect the peripheral aortic elasticity, insulin resistance, homocysteine (Hcy) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in healthy people, so as to provide reference indicators for early identification of high-risk groups of cardiovascular disease. MethodsA total of 1250 healthy check-up crowds were enrolled, 375 persons with cardiovascular disease in observation group and other 875 persons without cardiovascular disease in control group. Pulse wave velocity (PWV), ankle brachial index (ABI), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), plaque formation, and stiffness index (β) were measured, calculate insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), detect serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels, compare body mass index (BMI), systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The correlation of PWV, ABI, HOMA-IR, Hcy, hs-CRP with IMT, β was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. ResultsThe PWV and ABI values in observation group were significantly higher than those in control group, what’s more, IMT was larger, plaque formation rate was more, β value was higher, HOMA-IR was more, serum Hcy and hs-CRP levels were higher(P<0.05). Pearson test showed that PWV, ABI, HOMA-IR, Hcy, hs-CRP were significantly positively correlated with IMT and β (P<0.05). The area under curve(AUC) of PWV, ABI, IMT, β, HOMA-IR, Hcy and hs-CRP for predicting cardiovascular disease by receiver operating curve(ROC) were 0.812,0.823,0.865,0.872,0.892,0.816 and 0.852, respectively(P<0.05). ConclusionThere are differences in peripheral aortic elasticity, insulin resistance, blood Hcy and hs-CRP levels in the physical examination population with cardiovascular disease, and they are correlated with IMT and β values, which have certain value for the screening of cardiovascular disease.
