Abstract

Objective To study the characteristics of the carotid atherosclerosis in senile essential hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods Eighty two elderly patients were divided into three groups: type 2 DM, essential hypertension (EH), and type 2 DM complicated with EH ( DM+EH). Plasma lipids and ultrasonography for carotid artery were examined. Results Level of TG was significantly higher in DM and DM+EH. The carotid resistance index was significantly higher in DM and DM+EH, intima media thickness of common carotid artery was increased in all three groups. Plaque index was higher in DM+EH than in EH. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that the elderly hypertention with DM patients are susceptible to carotid atherosclerosis.
