Correlation Analysis of IMT and BPV in Elderly Patients with Hypertension Diagnosed by CDFI and CT

Objective To explore the application value of ca rotid a rtery color Doppler ultrasound(CDFI)combined with CT in a correlation study between carotid artery intima-media thickness(IMT)and ambulatory blood pressure variability(BPV)in elderly patients with hypertension.Methods Clinical and imaging data of 72 elderly patients with hypertension treated in the hospital from February 2018 to October 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into a normal group(IMT<0.9 mm,n=27),thickening group(0.9 mm≤IMT<1.3 mm,n=30)and plaque group(IMT≥1.5 mm,n=15)according to the IMT.All patients were su bjected to CDR and multi-slice spiral CT angiography(CTA).BPV indexes of the two groups were compared.Carotid plaques and stenosis degree were measured,and the correlation between IMT and BPV indexes was analyzed.Results With the increase of IMT,the patient’s24 h,daytime,and nighttime average systolic blood pressure(24 h SBP,dSBP,nSBP)and average diastolic blood pressure(24 h DBP,dDBP,nDBP)increased significantly(P<0.05).The 24 h,daytime,and nighttime systolic blood pressure va riations(24 h SBPCV,dSBPCV,nSBPCV)and diastolic blood pressure variations(24 h DBPCV,dDBPCV,nDBPCV)increased significantly(P<0.05).Differences in abovementioned indexes among the three groups were all statistically significant(P<0.05).A total of 128 stenotic,arteries were detected in the 72 patients,including 51 mild stenoses,42 moderate stenoses and 35 severe stenoses.The overall arterial stenosis rate was 44.44%.The IMT was significantly positively correlated with BPV indexes such as 24 h SBPCV,dSBPCV,nSBPCV,24 h DBPCV,dDBPCV,and nDBPCV(P<0.05).Conclusion The carotid artery stenosis rate in elderly patients with hypertension is relatively higher.The application of CDFI combined with CT can determine the degree of carotid artery stenosis and plaque location.The IMT of patients is positively correlated with changes in BPV.Controlling changes in BPV indexes in patients with hypertension can help alleviate carotid artery stenosis.
