老年高血压病患者颈动脉内膜中层厚度与踝臂指数的临床研究

目的:探讨老年高血压病患者颈动脉内膜中层厚度与踝臂指数的关系。方法:选择老年高血压病患者120例,按颈动脉超声检测结果分内膜增厚组、斑块形成组、管腔狭窄组,同时检测三组患者的踝臂指数,并进行统计学分析。结果:颈动脉粥样硬化程度越严重,踝臂指数越低,三组间比较差异有显著性(P<0·05)。结论:老年高血压病患者的踝臂指数与动脉粥样硬化密切相关。

Objective： To evaluate the relationship between ankle - brachial index （ABI） and carotid intima- media thickness （IMT） in aged patients with hypertension. Methods： 120 aged patients with hypertension were detected by ultrasound were divided into increased IMT group, atheroma group and narrow luminal diameter group. Their ankle - braehial index were measured and compared. Results：Those with lower ankle - brachial index showed more severe carotid atherosclerosis. There was significant statistical difference between threeg roups （P 〈 0. 05 ）. Conclusion ： Ankle - brachial index might be closely relatedtoin atherosclerosis in aged patients with hypertension.
