高血压的发病率逐年攀升,高血压及其导致的靶器官损害已成为威胁人类健康的主要杀手之一.高血压及其靶器官损害的早期诊断、早期治疗,对改善患者预后,降低致残率和病死率有着重要的意义.随着人们对高血压-动脉硬化-靶器官损害这一病理生理的认识提高,对动脉硬化的关注度也越来越高.研究显示动脉硬化检测指标动态动脉硬化指数(AASI)与动脉硬化靶器官损伤有着密切的相关性.文章主要对AASI在高血压患者中临床应用的研究进展作一综述.“,”The incidence of hypertension has increased year by year,high blood pressure and the resulting target organ damage has become one of the main killers of human health.Early diagnosis and treatment of hypertension and its target organ damage have important implications for improving the prognosis of the patients and reducing morbidity and mortality.With the increase in awareness of the pathophysiology of hypertension-arteriosclerosis-target organ damage,the degree of concern for atherosclerosis is also increasing.Studies have shown that arteriosclerosis test ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI) and arteriosclerosis target organ damage is closely related.This review summarizes the advances in the clinical application of AASI in hypertensive patients.
