Methods Give ultrasound examination in the carotid artery to the outpatients and inpatients with hypertension, hypedipemia or diabetes, who has pathological change in the carotid artery,and 62 cases of them are atherosclerotic change using medicine intervention. Results Ultrasound may show accurately the size and positions of atheroma, which include fatty atheroma,soft atheroma,stiff atheroma and mixed atheroma. After taking the medicine,in the first period, the diameter of theatheroma shrank in a broad range, from ( 1.82 ± 0.45 )mm to ( 1.53 ± 0.42 ) mm. And the second period, it can shrink in a small range, from ( 1.53 ± 0.42 )mm to ( 1.32 ± 0.40) mm. Conclusion Ultrasound examination can be regarded as the asoreferred method in diag- nosis of the carotid atherosclerotic plague and the monitor of medicine intervention.
