高血压与颈动脉粥样硬化的研究进展

Advances in Research in Hypertension and Carotid Atherosclerosis

高血压与颈动脉粥样硬化之间存在许多相关联系,高血压在动脉粥样硬化的发生中起重要作用。现综述高血压与颈动脉粥样硬化斑块产生的相似危险因素,动脉粥样硬化斑块与高血压的共同发生机制以及通过超声动态观察动脉粥样硬化的进展与消退,对高血压高危人群发生心、脑血管事件的预测具有重要意义。

In this article we investigate the association of hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis. Carotid atherosclerosis was thought to be caused by hypertension. However, this study showed that hypertension and carotid atherosclerosis plaque have similar risk factors, and the same mechanisms. Through the use of ultrasound we can observe the advancement and extinction of the atherosclerosis.
