Abstract: Objective To investigate the relationship of carotid artery atherosclerosis and the plasma level of RAS in hypertension patients.Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinic data of essential hypertension patients treated in the department of cardiology department between Jan 2015 and Mar 2016.Results Carotid artery plaque was associated with age,blood sugar,total cholesterol,low density lipoprotein-cholesterol,and uric acid.The prevalence of carotid artery atherosclerosis increased with increasing level of plasma erect and decubitus position angiotensin Ⅱ and erect position renin (P ＜ 0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicted that age,decubitus position angiotensin Ⅱ,TC,UA was positively associated with carotid atherosclerosis,HDL-C was negatively correlated with carotid atherosclerosis(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Carotid artery atherosclerosis is independently associated with Ang Ⅱ.
