退行性心脏瓣膜病与动脉粥样硬化的关系

目的探讨退行性心脏瓣膜病（SDHVD）与动脉粥样硬化的相关性。方法对120例SDHVD患者（sDHVD组）和95例无SDHVD者（非SDHVD组）行双侧颈动脉超声及下肢血管超声检查。结果SDHVD患者颈动脉及下肢动脉粥样斑块的检出率明显高于无SDHVD者，两组比较差异有统计学意义（P〈0．01）；不同部位斑块检出率比较差异无统计学意义（P〉0．05）。结论与颈动脉斑块相同，下肢动脉粥样斑块亦与SDHVD密切相关，临床上对SDHVD患者及时行颈动脉或下肢动脉超声有助于评估动脉粥样硬化程度。

Relationship between senile degenerative heart valvular disease and artery atherosclarosis

Objective To discuss the prevalanee relationship between senile degenerative heart valvular disease （SDHVD） and artery atherosclarosis. Methods 120 cases of SDHVD were selected and 95 cases without SDHVD were elected as a control group. The color Doppler ultrasound was performed for lower extremity arteries and carotid arteries. Results The prevalence of artherosclerosis in SDHVD patients were much higher than control group. And in SDHVD group, there was no significant difference of frequency of plaque between lower extremity arteries and carotid arteries. Conclusion There is significant correlation between the incidents of SDHVD and lower extremity artery atherosclarosis, and as well as carotid atherosclerosis. The color Doppler ultrasound of carotid and lower extremity artery may predict the occurrence and severity of artery atherosclerosis.
