Abstract

Objective To explore the diagnosis value of color Doppler ultrasound of the carotid atherosclerosis plaques in diabetic patients. Methods Color Doppler ultrasonic assessment of carotid was performed in 124 diabetic patients(test group)and 100 normal controls(control group).The intima-media thickness(IMT)and the carotid atherosclerosis plaques parameters were measured.The results were compared and analyzed between two groups. Results The IMT and the incidence rate of carotid atherosclerosis plaques in the test group were higher than those in the control group(all P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference in the site of the plaques between test and control group(P＞0.05). Conclusion The incidence rate of the carotid atherosclerosis of type 2 diabetes was higher.Carotid color Doppler ultrasonography was an optimal technique for screening and diagnosing atherosclerosis.
