Abstract:
Objective To explore the dynamic changes of abdominal and peripheral arteries in the patients with familial hypercholesterolemia(FH). Methods The intima-media thickness(IMT), stenotic degree and hemodynamics change of arteries were measured by ultrasonography in three children in 3 FH pedigrees. Results The plaques number and IMT of carotid and femoral arteries in the patients with FH significantly increased. The IMT of vertebral artery, subclavein artery, abdominal aorta, renal artery, illac artery and popliteal artery did not obviously changed. Conclusion Noninvasive vascular ultrasound was a preferred imaging technique to follow up the vascular change in the patients with FH.
