高频超声对高脂血症患者颈动脉内膜——中膜厚度及斑块形成检测的意义

The Value of High Frequency Ultrasound in Detecting the Intimal-Medial Thickness and Development of Plague of Carotid Artery in Hyperlipidemic Subjects

目的 探讨高频超声监测高脂血症患者颈动脉内膜—中膜厚度及斑块形成的意义。方法 使用Acuson12 8XP高频超声对 40例高血脂及 45例正常人的颈动脉的内膜—中膜厚度进行测量 ,观察高脂血症患者的内膜增厚与斑块形成情况 ,并与对照组进行比较。结果 高脂血症患者颈动脉内膜—中膜增厚及斑块形成的发生率明显高于对照组 ,高血脂与斑块形成的发生成正相关。结论 高频超声可清晰显示颈动脉内膜—中膜情况 ,在动脉粥样硬化的预防及冠心病。

Objective To explore the value of high frequency ultrasound (HFUS) in measuring the intimal-medial thickness (IMT) and detecting the development of plague of carotid artery in hyperlipidemic subjects.Methods HFUS (Acuson 128XP) examination was performed on 40 cases of hyperlipidemia and 45 normal persons to measure the IMT and detect the development of plague of carotid artery.The results of the two groups were compared.Results The IMT of carotid artery was thicker in hyperlipidemic patients than in normal subjects.The forming rate of plague was also higher in hyperlipidemic patients.An excellent correlation was found between the formation of plague and the level of hyperlipidemia.Conclusions HFUS can be used to measure the IMT and observe the development of plague of carotid artery.So it is importent to prevent the development of arthrosclerosis,coronary heart disease and so on.
