Abstract:
We selected randomly 368 patients including 162 males and 206 females. Mean age are 57.91+/- 11.81 years (41 to 80 years). There are 244 hypertensive patients (66.49%); 312 patients with increase of intima thickness (84.78%); 173 patients with plaque on the arterial wall (47.4%). The intima median thickness is 1.17 +/- 0.347 mm. For patients upon 30 years either the normal or high blood pressure, the older they are, the higher the risk of the injured arteial wall is. An aldult upon 30 years without hypertension is still able to have 73.7% of atherosclerosis (p<0.001). The arterial wall of male is often easily effected more than of female (p<0.001).
