Abstract:
Objective To observe the relationship between carotid stiffness and coronary angiography in elderly patients of coronary heart disease (CHD) complicated with hypertension.Methods The patients were divided into three groups.Coronary angiography was performed in 40 elderly patients of CHD complicated with hypertension.The carotid stiffness was measured by ultrasound.Results There were significant differences on hypertension in arterial stain,arterial distensibility and arterial stiffness.There was significant correlation between coronary angiography score and carotid stiffness among three groups(r=-0.353,-0.125,0.376,P<0.01).Conclusion There is close relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and coronary atherosclerosis in elderly patients of CHD complicated with hypertension.
