Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical value of echo-tracking(ET) technique in evaluating the carotid elasticity in patients with hyperuricemia and hyperuricemia combined with hyperlipidemia.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with hyperuricemia were divided into two group:group of hyperuricemia (group A) and group of hyperuricemia combined with hyperlipidemia (group B).Sixty normal persons were served as the control group.ET was used to measure the carotid artery elastic modulus including stiffness parameters (β),pressure-strain elastic modulus (Ep),arterial compliance (AC),augmentation index (AI) and pulse wave conducting velocity (PWVβ).Then the statistical data were analyzed to observe the changes of each parameter.Results In the comparison of three groups,elastic function index β,Ep,PWVβ and AI in group A and group B were higher than those of control group (P ＜0.05) ;however,AC was lower than that of control group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group A,elastic function index β,Ep,PWVβ,AI was higher in group B,while the AC was lower than that of group B (P ＜0.05).Conclusions ET may be helpful to prevent atherosclerotic changes and to provide the basis for the clinical diagonosis and treatment atherosclerotic changes.
