动脉硬度指数与高血压患者颈动脉内膜中膜厚度的关系

目的探讨高血压动脉硬度指数与颈动脉内膜中膜厚度的关系。方法时124例高血压患者经颈动脉超声检查分为颈动脉内膜中膜增厚组和非内膜中膜增厚组，用TF-1血管硬度测量仪测量其动脉硬度指数，同时测定血压参数、血脂、血糖等临床指标并进行比较。结果颈动脉内膜中膜增厚组和非内膜中膜增厚组临床指标比较无统计学意义；颈动脉内膜中膜增厚组较非内膜中膜增厚组具有较高的动脉硬度指数，差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）。结论动脉硬度指数是一个较好的预测心血管病危险的指标。

Relationship Between Arterial Stiffness Index and Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness in Hypertensive Patients

Aim To explore the relationship of arterial stiffness index(ASI) with carotid artery intima-media thickness(IMT) in hypertensive patients. Methods 124 hypertensive patients who underwent the IMT of carotid arteries were evaluated.They were classified as IMT increased group or no IMT increased group.ASI was measured with YF-1XGYD device.The record of medical history,blood pressure were performed.The biochemical parameters such as blood lipids,glucose and so on were tested. Results There were no significant differences in clinical manifestations between patients of the IMT increased group and no IMT increased group(p<0.05).The ASI value of the IMT increased group was significantly higher than that of the no IMT increased group(p<0.01). Conclusion ASI could be used as an indicator of cardiovascular risk in hypertensive patients.
