Analysis of the relationship between intima-media thickness and plaque of carotid artery and coronary heart disease

Wei Zhang

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis and the coronary artery atherosclerosis.Methods:113 cases were divided into normals and 1,2,3-vessel groups by angiography.Carotid ultrasonography was carried out.Results:The more serious the coronary heart disease,the thicker maximum intima-media thickness and the higher incidence rate of plaque in carotid artery was.Conclusion:There is more relative relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis and the coronary heart disease carotid artery ultrasonography may predict the extent of coronary heart disease.
