The experiences of the angiological screening of students to identify early aging of blood vessels

Abstract

It was performed statistical analysis of the vascular rigidity parameters of the 224 students aged from 19 to 29 years at the stage angiological screening in the framework of prevention project «Th e University of healthy lifestyle». Used the device VaSera VS-1500 («Fukuda Denshi», Japan), which allows to estimate such stiff ness indicator, as Cardio-Ankle Vascular Index (CAVI), independent of the level of tensile blood ressure, acting on the arterial wall at the time of registration of the pulse wave. Th e apparatus also evaluates the vascular age of the subjects, which allows to detect early vascular aging or syndrome EVA. Presented data of descriptive statistics, percentile and quartile analyses. It was found that among medical students the signs of the syndrome EVA occurs at 12.7% of boys and 7.8% of girls. Maximum excess chronological age, that is, the passport age for boys can reach 20 years, and for girls 22 years respectively. Th ese data are useful to consider in the formation of cardiovascular risk groups among youth in the process of medical examination for the purpose of further development of more individualized programs of preventive intervention, aimed at restoration of the reduced elastic capacity of the vascular wall.
