| Abstract |
Arterial stiffness and central blood pressure are the surrogate markers of non invasive method anticipating cardiovascular disorders to the patients with coronary artery disease. Its numerous merits to the patients with coronary artery disease in relatively older age, research results of recreational dance are still insufficient. Thus, this study implemented acute recreational dance to 10 patients with coronary artery disease, who underwent coronary intervention, and analyzed the effects 20 minutes before and after exercise respectively. We measured brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) and central blood pressure. The ba-PWV was measured using VP-1000 plus (Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan)and central blood pressure was HEM-9000AI(Omron Healthcare Co., Ltd., Kyoto, Japan). As a result, pulse wave velocity, which indicates arterial stiffness, reduced positively, but it was not statistically significant. Nevertheless, it showed positive and statistically significant change in blood pressure of brachial artery, pulse pressure and central arterial pressure. |
