Methods: 32 cases of patients diagnosed as essential hypertension in Beijing An-Zhen hospital and Beijing people's hospital outpatient and hospitalization between June 2012 and June 2013 were selected as the experimental group. 29 cases of healthy adult volunteers were recruited as the healthy control group. The left radial artery pulse information and the length of blood vessel from aorta to radial artery of two groups was detected using TCM four diagnosis auxiliary apparatus and tape measure, and the correlation of parameters of pulse wave with pulse wave conduction velocity of patients with hypertension were analyzed by statistical method. Results: Compared with the healthy control group, the PWV value of hypertension group was significantly increased(P0.05). H2/H1 in hypertension group was obviously higher than that of healthy controls(P0.05), but the value of H4/H1, T1/T, T2/T in hypertension group were all significantly lower than those of the healthy controls(P0.05). Among hypertension patients, the value of H2/H1, T1/T, T2/T and H4/H1 were associated with PWV. Moreover, H2/H1 and PWV was significantly positively correlated(P0.05). T1/T and T2/T had a significant negative correlation with PWV(P0.05). H4/H1 and PWV was generally positively correlated(P0.05). Conclusion: The pulse wave parameters of hypertension patients and pulse wave conduction velocity had significant correlation, and the amplitude of tidal wave had significant positive correlation with pulse wave conduction velocity; pulse wave of rising and tidal wave duration had significant negative correlation with pulse wave conduction velocity, dicrotic wave relative height and pulse wave conduction velocity had a general relationship. Thus, the state of blood vessel elasticity could be evaluated by the change of pulse wave parameters.Read More
