Abstract:
Objective To study the correlation between carotid atherosclerotic plaques and the different size ranges of coronary artery dilation ( CAE) .Methods We retrospectively analyzed the patients who underwent coro-nary angiography and carotid ultrasonography in our hospital from December 2012 to December 2014.According to the patients with or without carotid artery plaque, they were divided into a simple coronary artery dilatation group (n=34) and a coronary artery dilatation with carotid artery plaque group (n=46), and 80 patients were enrolled and included.After the relations between age, gender, blood lipid levels, smoking history, hypertension and diabetes with CAE were analyzed, we further analyzed the relationship of carotid artery plaque and coronary artery dilatation and severity of coronary lesions.Results There were significant correlations between age, gender, blood lipid levels and CAE (P<0.05).The gender of male was an independent risk factor for the development of CAE (OR=2.53;95%CI:1.34~2.57).Compared with carotid artery plaque 1 group, carotid artery plaque 2 and 3 coronary dilata-tion were increased (P<0.05).Conclusion CAE may be associated with carotid plaques frequently, and males are more susceptive.There is a correlation between the carotid artery atherosclerosis and coronary artery dilation:the wider the range of carotid artery is, the more serious coronary artery expansion.
