Abstract
Objective To study the correlation of homocysteine and atherosclerosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction carotid atherosclerosis. Methods 61 patients with acute cerebral infarction carotid atherosclerosis from May 2010 to May 2011 were selected as the observation group, 61 cases without brain disease from the same time period were selected as the control group.ultrasound monitored the plaques,the outer end of the carotid artery road intima-media thickness(IMT) and Hcy levels, the patients in the observation group were divided into high homocysteine group(group A) and normal group(group B) according to Hcy levels. Results Compared with the control group, patients' serum Hcy and IMT values in the observation group were higher; compared with the patients in the group B,the patients' serum Hcy and IMT in group A were both higher(P 0.05). Conclusion the serum Hcy values of atherosclerosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction is higher than the patients without brain disease, homocysteine levels and atherosclerosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction carotid atherosclerosis is positively correlated.
