Analysis of The Relationship between The Intima-Media Thickness and Plaque of Carotid Artery and Coronary Heart Disease

Liu Wang-ming

Abstract

Objective To evaluate the relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis and the coronary heart disease. Methods 105 cases devided into normals and 1,2,3-vessel groups by angiography were examined with carotid ultrasonography. Results The more serious the coronary heart disease, the thicker maximum intima-media thickness and higher incidence rate of plaque in carotid artery was. Conclusion There was more relative relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis and the coronary heart disease and carotid artery ultrasonography may predict the extent of coronary heart disease.
