The Pulse Wave Velocity and Fatal Events Rate in Hypertensive Patients Have Gone Through Acute Coronary Syndrome
There are several stratification scales of major cardiovascular events rate for patients have gone through acute coronary syndrome (ACS). None of them is perfect one. Arterial hypertension is included into some scales for post ACS patients but the features of it and its impact on coronary artery disease after ACS have never studied before. We studied the reasonability of Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) measurement for fatal events rate in hypertensive patients have gone through ACS. 326 patients were examined. They were enrolled into the study in stable condition on 10 <sup>th</sup> day after ACS has occurred. As a result of two years observation the increase PWV on carotid-femoral segment associated with the most negative (fatal) events in hypertensive patients have gone through ACS.
