AB  - OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between brachial-ankle pulse wave 
      velocity (baPWV) and different stage of cardiac dysfunction. METHODS: 253 
      consecutive patients with coronary atherosclerotic heart disease were enrolled 
      from August 2006 to February 2007. Patients were grouped according to the 
      functional classification of New York Heart Association (NYHA). The baPWV was 
      measured non-invasively with a VP1000 automated PWV/ABI analyzer (PWV/ABI, Colin 
      CO. Ltd., Komaki, Japan). At the same time, BNP, EF, LAEDV and LVESV were 
      measured in all the patients. RESULTS: Brachial-ankle PWV was significantly 
      correlated with cardiac function classification of NYHA (r = 0. 444, P < 0.001), 
      BNP( r = 0.394, < 0.001) and left ventricular end diastolic volume (r = - 0.130, 
      P < 0.05). The under area of receiver operating charachateistic (ROC) curve was 
      73.9%. The ROC curve demonstrated that when the value of brachial-ankle PWV was 
      equal to or larger than 1717 cm/s (> 1717 cm/s), the sensitivity of diagnosing 
      mild cardiac dysfunction was 72.9% and specifity 61.8%. When its value was equal 
      to or larger than 1900 cm/s (> or = 1900 cm/s), the sensitivity and specificity 
      were 61.5% and 81.9% respectively. CONCLUSION: Brachial-ankle PWV is 
      significantly correlated to the NYHA classification of heart failure and it may 
      be a prospective index to diagnose early stage of cardiac dysfunction.
