Abstract:
Objective:To study correlation between related carotid ultrasound parameters and severity of coronary atherosclerosis(AS).Methods:According to number of diseased coronary arteries,a total of 116 patients with cor-onary heart disease diagnosed by coronary angiography in our hospital were divided into single vessel coronary dis-ease group(n=38,single group),double vessel coronary disease group(n=39,double group)and ≥3 vessel coro-nary disease group(n=39,multiple group).Another 41 healthy subjects were simultaneously regarded as healthy control group.General clinical data and carotid ultrasound parameters were compared among all groups,and corre-lation among them and AS severity was analyzed.Results:Compared with healthy control group,there were signifi-cant rise in levels of total cholesterol(TC),triglycerides(TG)and low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),carotid intima-media thickness(IMT)and Crouse score in single,double and multiple groups,and significant re-ductions in plaque echo gray-scale median(GSM)in double and multiple groups.Compared with single group,there were significant rise in levels of TG and LDL-C,Gensini score and Crouse score in double and multiple groups and TC level in multiple group,and significant reduction in plaque echo GSM in multiple group.Compared with double group,there were significant rise in TC level,Gensini score and Crouse score,and significant reduction in plaque echo GSM in multiple group(P＜0.05 or＜0.01).Pearson correlation analysis indicated that Gensini score was significant positively correlated with Crouse score in these patients(r=0.580,P=0.001).Spearman correla-tion analysis indicated that IMT was significant positively correlated with number of diseased coronary arteries(r=0.582,P=0.001),and plaque echo GSM was significant inversely correlated with it(r=-0.518,P=0.001)in these patients.Conclusion:Related carotid ultrasound parameters are significantly correlated with severity of coro-nary atherosclerosis.
