颈部动脉粥样硬化与脑梗死的相关研究

目的评价颈部大动脉粥样硬化与脑梗死的相关性。方法对186例脑梗死患者进行颈部大动脉彩色多普勒检测,观察血管内膜情况,有无斑块形成,管腔是否狭窄及狭窄程度,与同期来院健康体检者40例对照。结果脑梗死患者颈动脉内膜中层厚度(IMT)、斑块的发生率及颈动脉狭窄程度较对照组明显增加,两组比较差异有显著性意义(P<0.05)。结论颈部大动脉粥样硬化形成与脑梗死发生密切相关。

Correlation between Carotid Atherosclerosis and Cerebral Infarction

Objective To evaluate the correlation between the atherosclerosis of the major cervical arteries and the cerebral infarction. Methods The major cervical arteries of 186 patients with the cerebral infarction were scanned with the color Doppler to observe the vascular intima and check if there were atherosclerotic plaques formed and if there was stenosis in the cavity as well as the extent of the stenosis. Forty people undergoing the health examination in the hospital at the same time served as the control group. Results Compared to the control group the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), the incidence and the carotid stenosis extent in the patients with the cerebral infarction were significantly increased with the significant difference between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion The formation of the atherosclerosis of the major cervical arteries was closely correlated with the cerebral infarction.
