Abstract

Abstract: Assessment of arterial pressure，structure，and function forms an essential part of cardiovascular health management. In recent years，multiple non-invasive assessment techniques have been adopted in clinical practice；however，specific implementation details，advantages，and limitations of these techniques remain unclear. To address this，an international panel of cardiovascular experts developed the Expert Consensus on Assessment of Arterial Pressure，Structure，and Function in September 2024. This consensus reviews the most widely utilized arterial assessment techniques，detailing reference ranges for each method and their clinical utility.This article provides an interpretive analysis of the consensus document，aiming to synthesize and propose arterial evaluation approaches suitable for China's current healthcare landscape. The objective is to deliver clinical recommendations for comprehensive cardiovascular health management in China.

摘要： 动脉压力、结构及功能评估是心血管健康管理的重要一环。近年来，多种无创评价技术已应用于临床实践，但这些技术的使用细节、优势和局限性并不明确。鉴于此，国际心血管领域专家小组在 2024 年 9 月制定了《动脉压力、结构及功能评估》专家共识，分别探讨了动脉评估中最常用的技术，重点阐述了各类技术的参考值以及在临床实践中的应用价值。本文对该共识进行解读，旨在梳理和提出适配我国现阶段的动脉评价方法，为我国心血管健康综合管理提供临床推荐。
