Correlation analysis of carotid atherosclerosis, vascular endothelial function and coronary heart disease

Objective To analyse with the correlation of carotid atherosclerosis, vascular endothelial function and coronary heart disease. Methods 45 patients with coronary heart disease(CHD) who saw the doctor in our hospital from December, 2012 to December, 2013 were chosen as experimental group, and the 45 people without coronary heart disease(CHD)who came to our hospital to check-up at the same period were set to the control group. vascular endothelial function, the number of carotid plaques, the carotid artery- in the film thickness(IMT) and carotid artery plaque integral were detected by High-frequency ultrasound in the patients with CHD. Results The numbers of indexes of patients' which carotid plaques, IMT and carotid plaque integral were included in the experimental group were greater than that in the control group, and the differences were significant(P 0.05). And the EDD% was significantly different from that in the control group(P 0.05).Conclusion Carotid atherosclerosis and vascular endothelial function had a close Correlation with coronary heart disease.And the two are the key indicators of clinical prevention of coronary heart disease.
