Длительное время в качестве показателя артериальной ригидности, не зависящего от уровня артериального давления (АД) на момент исследования, выступал сердечно-лодыжечный сосудистый индекс (cardio-ankle vascular index, CAVI). Российскими разработчиками был предложен индекс артериальной ригидности START (STiffness of ARTeries), рассчитываемый с использованием онлайнкалькулятора на основе измеренной скорости распространения пульсовой волны и АД.Цель исследования — провести анализ взаимосвязи индексов START и CAVI с антропометрическими данными, уровнем АД и параметрами легочной функции у пациентов с хронической обструктивной болезнью легких (ХОБЛ).Материалы и методы. В исследование были включены 72 пациента с диагнозом ХОБЛ. Всем пациентам для определения CAVI, сердечно-лодыжечной скорости распространения пульсовой волны (heart-ankle pulse wave velocity, haPWV) и АД была выполнена объемная сфигмография и рассчитан сердечно-лодыжечный индекс START (heart-ankle START, haSTART). Оценка вентиляционных нарушений проведена методом спирометрии и бодиплетизмографии. Для статистической обработки был проведен частный корреляционный анализ, определена внутриклассовая корреляция между индексами CAVI и haSTART, были построены регрессионные модели для обоих индексов артериальной ригидности.Результаты. Определялась сильная корреляция индекса CAVI с индексом haSTART (r = 0,97, p &lt; 0,001). Внутриклассовая корреляция индекса haSTART с индексом CAVI составила 0,848 (95-процентный доверительный интервал (95 % ДИ) 0,756–0,905). Наблюдалась значимая положительная частная корреляция индексов CAVI и haSTART с возрастом (rч = 0,34, p = 0,005 и rч = 0,32, p = 0,007 соответственно) и со средним АД (АДср) (rч = 0,46, p &lt; 0,001 и rч = 0,48, p = &lt; 0,001 соответственно). Частная корреляция CAVI и haSTART с индексом массы тела (ИМТ) была отрицательной (rч = −0,38, p = 0,001 и rч = −0,31, p = 0,010). Оба параметра артериальной ригидности значимо коррелировали с параметрами легочной функции, наиболее высокой частная корреляция индексов CAVI и haSTART была с остаточным объемом легких (ООЛ) (rч = 0,48, p &lt; 0,001 и rч = 0,49, p &lt; 0,001 соответственно). По результатам регрессионного анализа были получены следующие модели регрессии: CAVI = 1,530 + 0,062 × возраст – 0,084 × ИМТ + 0,041 × АДср + 0,009 × ООЛ, F = 13,94, p &lt; 0,001, R2 = 0,45 и haSTART = −8,122 + 0,135 × возраст – 0,149 × ИМТ + 0,095 × АДср + 0,021 × ООЛ, F = 12,57, p &lt; 0,001, R2 = 0,43.Заключение. Индексы haSTART и CAVI могут быть использованы для оценки артериальной ригидности у пациентов с ХОБЛ. Выявлены схожие паттерны связей обоих индексов артериальной ригидности с возрастом, ИМТ, уровнем АД и с параметрами легочной вентиляции. Сильная корреляция между индексами CAVI и haSTART и высокая согласованность между индексами свидетельствует о схожих результатах коррекции скорости распространения пульсовой волны по уровню АД.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>Background. The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) index is commonly used as an indicator of arterial stiffness independent of blood pressure (BP) at the time of the measurement. Russian developers proposed the START (STiffness of ARTeries) arterial stiffness index that can be calculated online based on pulse wave velocity (PWV) and BP.Objective. To analyze the relationship of START and CAVI indices with anthropometric data, BP and pulmonary function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Design and methods. Seventy-two COPD patients underwent volume sphymography to determine CAVI, cardio-ankle PWV (haPWV) and BP, then cardio-ankle START index (haSTART) was calculated. Spirometry and bodyplethysmography were performed to assess pulmonary function disorders. Statistical data processing was performed by the means of partial and intraclass correlation analysis, regression models were constructed for both indices of arterial stiffness.Results. Strong correlation was found between CAVI and haSTART indices (r = 0,97, p &lt; 0,001). Intraclass correlation between haSTART and CAVI indices was 0,848 (95 % CI 0,756-0,905). Significant positive partial cor relation of CAVI and haSTART indices with age (rp = 0,34, p = 0,005 and rp = 0,32, p = 0,007, respectively) and with mean BP (BPmean) (rp = 0,46, p &lt; 0,001 and rp = 0,48, p &lt; 0,001, respectively) was observed. Both CAVI and haSTART were negatively correlated with body mass index (BMI) (rp = –0,38, p = 0,001 and rp = −0,31, p = 0,010, respectively). Statistically significant partial correlation was found between both arterial stiffness indices and pulmonary ventilation parameters. The strongest correlation was observed between both CAVI and haSTART indices and residual volume (rp = 0,48, p &lt; 0,001 and rp = 0,49, p &lt; 0,001, respectively). Based on the results of regression analysis, the following models were constructed: CAVI = 1,530 + 0,062 × AGE – 0,084 × BMI + 0,041 × BPmean + 0,009 × RV, F = 13,94, p &lt; 0,001, R2 = 0,45 and haSTART = –8,122 + 0,135 × AGE – 0,149 × BMI + 0,095 × BPmean + 0,021 × RV, F = 12,57, p &lt; 0,001, R2 = 0,43.Conclusion. Both haSTART and CAVI indices can be used to assess arterial stiffness in patients with COPD. Both indices have similar correlation patterns with age, mean BP, BMI and with the parameters of pulmonary ventilation. Strong correlation between CAVI and haSTART indices and high consistency between both indices indicates the similarity of the results of PWV corrected by BP level.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>артериальная ригидность</kwd><kwd>сердечно-лодыжечный сосудистый индекс</kwd><kwd>CAVI</kwd><kwd>START</kwd><kwd>хроническая обструктивная болезнь легких</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>arterial stiffness</kwd><kwd>CAVI</kwd><kwd>START</kwd><kwd>chronic obstructive pulmonary disease</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Авдеев С.
