Risk Factors of Carotid Artery Plaque in Ischemic Cerebrovascular Disease

Objective To investigate atherosclerotic plaques in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and the risk factors.Methods In 240 patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease and 142 healthy control,color Doppler ultrasonography was used to check its carotid intima-media thickness(IMT),plaques and traits;total cholesterol(CH),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL),plasma creatinine,fibrinogen(FIB),platelet aggregation degree(PAG)were examined.Results In the schemic cerebrovascular disease group,77.5% of them had internal carotid artery plaque,and in healthy control,the rate was 21.13%,the difference was significant(P0.01).Hypertension and diabetes were more likely to lead to atherosclerosis(P0.01).Conclusion Carotid atherosclerosis and ischemic cerebrovascular disease was closely correlated.Hypertension and diabetes mellitus played an important role in plaque formation.Triglyceride,total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol also influenced the formation of arterial plaque.
