Abstract：Objective To discuss the correlation between cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) and lacunar infarction in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods The elderly patients with hypertension (n=193) were chosen from Jan. 2010 to Jan. 2013, and then divided into CAVI group 1 (CAVI≥9.0, n=110) and CAVI group 2 (CAVI<9.0, n=83). The correlation between CAVI and incidence of lacunar infarction was analyzed. Results The incidence of lacunar infarction was 17.3%in CAVI group 1 and 6.0%in CAVI group 2 (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence of lacunar infarction in CAVI group 1 was 2.85 times of that in CAVI group 2 (P<0.05). Conclusion CAVI can be used for reviewing the risk of lacunar infarction in elderly patients with hypertension.
