老年高血压患者颈动脉内膜-中膜层厚度的改变

The Change of Intima-Media Thickness in Elderly Hypertension

目的 探讨老年高血压患者颈动脉内膜_中膜层厚度的改变。方法 应用彩色多普勒超声仪对比分析 12 7例老年高血压患者与 53例健康人颈动脉内膜_中膜层厚度的变化。结果 1.老年高血压患者颈动脉的内膜_中膜层厚度 (IMT)值明显高于健康者 (P <0 0 1)。2 .在老年高血压组中有脑卒中的患者IMT值又明显高于无脑卒中的患者。结论 健康体检中 ,检测IMT值对预测老年高血压患者预后及脑卒中发生率有一定的临床价值。

ObjectiveTo explore the change of intima_media thi ckness (IMT) in e lderly hypertension. MethodsUsing Color_Doppler ultra sonic flowmeter, the IMT was measured in 127 elderly hypertension and 53 healthy persons.Res ults1. The IMT in elderly hypertension is significantly thicker than that in healthy person s ( P <0 01). 2. In elderly hypertension, the IMT is significantly thicker in thos e with anoxic apoplexy than those without anoxic apoplexy. Conclusi onsIMT has clinical value for predicting the prognosis and the inc idence of cerebral stroke in elderly hypertension.
