About the Thematic Series

The cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is a new index of the overall stiffness of the artery from the origin of the aorta to the ankle. CAVI is a key tool for the improvement of preventative medicine as this index can estimate the risk of atherosclerosis.

A significant feature of CAVI is that it is entirely independent of blood pressure at the time of measurement. CAVI has been proven to be negatively influenced by many arteriosclerotic diseases, such as coronary artery disease, carotid arteriosclerosis, chronic kidney disease and cerebrovascular disease and many coronary risk factors, such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia and smoking. Conversely, CAVI can be positively influenced by lifestyle modifications such as smoking cessation.

Recently, it has been reported that CAVI and several left ventricular functions are co-related, suggesting a connection between the heart muscle and vascular function.

This special CAVI issue of Vascular Health and Risk Management serves to highlight the current and future potential of this index.
