Abstract

【Objective】 To study the relationship between carotid intima-media thickness(IMT),carotid artery plaque and coronary heart disease.【Methods】 205 cases suspected with coronary heart disease(CHD) were divided into non-CHD group and CHD group according to coronary angiography result,also they were examined by carotid artery ultrasound examination,the IMT was measured and the relationship between carotid artery plaque and coronary heart disease was observed.【Results】 There were 64 cases without CHD and 141 cases with CHD.The IMT significantly increased in CHD group [(1.06±0.23)mm vs.(0.75±0.11)mm,P 0.01].The prevanlence rate of atherosclerotic plaques in CHD group[78.01%(110/141)] was significantly higher than that in non-CHD group [23.43%(15/64),P 0.01].【Conclusion】 The carotid IMT and atherosclerotic plaque have close relationship with coronary heart disease.Carotid artery ultrasonography has great value for predicting CHD.
