Abstract:
Objective To study regularity of atherosclerosic development and distribution in extracoronary arteries and its relation to risk factors in high risk group of atherosclerosis. Methods Extracoronary atherosclerosis was investigated with ultrasound in subjects exposed to multiple cardiovascular diseases and undergone stepwise multiple regress analysis with cardiovascular risk factors. Results Incidence of carotid, subclaviscular , abdominal aortic , femoral and common iliac artery atherosclerosis was 73%, 63%, 56%,54% and 51% respectively. The simple atherosclerostic plaque is the most common of three types(P<0.01); The incidence and IMT of femoral, abdominal aortic and iliac artery atherosclerosis were significantly higher in coronary artery disease (CAD) than those in the other groups(P<0.01);The incidence and IMT of carotid artery atherosclerosis in subjects with stroke were significantly higher than those in other groups;The age,systolic blood pressure and triglyceride were significantly associated with extracoronary atherosclerosis. Conclusion In descending order of incidence of extracoronary atherosclerosis,these were carotid,subclavicular,abdominal aortic,femoral and common iliac artery. The atherosclerosis of femoral,iliac and abodominal arteries was closely associated with CAD,and the atherosclerosis of carotid artery was significantly associated with stroke.
