Title: STUDY OF HYPERTENSION EFFECTING THE CAROTID ARTERIOSCLEROSIS
Abstract: Objective:To investigate the significant meaning of hypertension effecting on carotid atherosclerosis.Methods:30 cases of normal cases fromhealthy volunteers and 30 cases were selected and patients with hypertension in Inner Mongolia Hospital from oct.2008 ~oct.2009.To detect carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) using Color doppler ultrasound and calculate the incidence of plaque for everyone. Datas were analysed by related statistical methods.Results:The IMTvalues in normal group is0.97±0.12mm and 1.08±0.16mm in pure hypertension group (P0.01).there are 4 cases having carotid artery plaque in normal group. However the number is 17 in hypertension group(P0.01).Conclusions:Hypertension have an important role in induceding CAS. It is more significant that decreased blood pressure and can slowed down the process of atherosclerosis.
