The Clinical Value of Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis and Endothelial Dysfunction in Coronary Heart Disease Patients

Objective: To explore the relationship of carotid artery atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction in coronary heart disease patients.Methods: 114 cases of coronary heart disease(54 cases single vessel disease and 60 cases multiple vessel disease)and 60 cases of healthy physical examination were selected.Carotid artery atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction were analyzed in two groups.Results: The TC,TG,HDL and blood sugar levels were higher in observation group than in control group,the LDL levels was lower than in control group.The difference between the two groups was significant(P0.05).The IMT,plaque score and plaque numbers were higher than in control group(P0.05),FMD was decreased,the disease severity was serious in multiple vessel disease group.Conclusion: Carotid artery atherosclerosis and vascular endothelium function are the important indicator in predicting coronary heart disease.It has important sense for prevent and treat coronary heart disease.
