Abstract
The stiffness of the arteries is an integral indicator of the state of the vascular wall, so this indicator is widely used in cardiology practice. Recently, a novel marker of arterial stiffness - cardio-ankle vascular index (СЛСИ), independent of blood pressure levels, making it more accurate and convenient for the dynamic assessment of patients. Although СЛСИ indicator is more often used in screening for and to assess cardiovascular risk, perhaps its use in patients with existing cardiovascular disease. This review focuses on the possibilities of using the СЛСИ in patients with atherosclerosis of various localization, especially in patients with stable coronary heart disease and disorders of cerebral circulation.
