Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis And Risk Factors Of Coronary Heart Disease For Uigur

Objective: To investigate the relationship between carotid artery atherosclerosis of Uigur and cardiovascular risk factors. Methods: 120 Uigur patients who underwent carotid artery B-mode ultrasonography were included in this study and divided into two groups according to the intima-media thickness(IMT): IMT≤0.9 mm group (n=4 0) and IMT> 0.9 mm group (n=80). Triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol(TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),apolipoprotein A(APOA), apolipoprotein B(APOB), lipoprotein a (LIPA), blood glucose(BG), fibrinogen(FIB), uric acid(UA), blood pressure(BP), body mass index (BMI) were determined in all patients. Results j The patients for IMT ≥0.9mm might be related to age, SBP,DBP,PP, TC, LDL-C, APOB.(p<0.05). IMT had positive correlation to age, SBP , PP, TC, LDL-C and APOB. Conclusion: Older, higher SBP and PP, higher LDL-C and APOB were the most important risks of Uigur carotid atherosclerosis.
