The Relationship between Carotid Atherosclerosis Plaque,Risk Factors and Cerebral Infarction

Objective:To study the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis plaque,risk factors and cerebral infarction.Methods:Sixty-five patients with cerebral infarction and 70 patients or health people without cerebral infarction were checked by ultrasonic,simultaneously blood was measured.Compare the difference between position,quantity,quality of carotid atherosclerosis plaque,carotid inside diameter and cerebral infarction risk factors.Results:The positive ratio of carotid atherosclerosis plaque,left and right total artery inside diameter[78.46%,(7.42±0.08)mm,(7.53±0.06)mm]in cerebral infarction group were significantly different from that of control group[28.57%,(7.84±0.10)mm,(7.97±0.75)mm](P0.05).The quantity of carotid atherosclerosis plaque is the most in common carotid artery(77.5%),the second in common carotid artery shunt(15.0%),the least in the cranial outside stage of internal carotid artery((7.5%)).The speckle position showed significant correlation with the cerebral infarction position in the same side(P0.05).The patient age(69±8),the ratio of patient with high blood pressure(70.1%),diabetes(47.7%),metabolize syndrome(40.0%)in cerebral infarction group were significant higher than that of the control group[(61±6) years old,41.3%,18.6%,15.7%](P(0.01)).Conclusion:Carotid atherosclerosis plaque is associated with cerebral infarction.Age,high blood pressure,diabetes,metabolize syndrome were associated with the formation of carotid atherosclerosis plaque,there is a very important clinical significance in the control of carotid atherosclerosis plaque and it's risk factors.
