Abstract

Objective:To study the correlation between cerebral infarction and carotid atherosclerosis.Methods:Color Doppler Ultrasonography of the carotid artery were performed on 138 patients with cerebral infarction and 150 people without cerebrovascular diease.The intima-media thickness(IMT) of the posterial wall and plaques at carotid artery were studied.Results:The IMT in cerebral infarction patients were significantly thicker than that in control group(P0.05).And the plaque presence of carotid artery was found 98/138(71.0%) in cerebral infarction,55/150(37.2%) in control group.There was significant difference between two groups(P0.05).Conclusion:Carotid atherosclerosis is correlated to cerebral infarction and is an important risk factor to cerebral infarction.
