Relationship Between Dyslipidemia and Carotid Atherosclerosis by Ultrafast Pulse Wave Velocity
Objective To study the relationship between dyslipidemia and carotid atherosclerosis in physical examination population by ultrafast pulse wave velocity,and to provide evidence for the early prevention and treatment of carotid atherosclerosis.Methods According to the diagnostic criteria of dyslipidemia,54 examinees were divided into dyslipidemia group(20 cases)and normal group(34 cases).Parameters of carotid atherosclerosis of the two groups were detected by conventional two-dimensional ultrasound and ultrafast pulse wave velocity,and the data of the two groups were compared and analyzed statistically.Results There was no significant difference between the two groups in pulse wave velocity at the beginning of the systole,intimal-medial thickness,peak systolic velocity,end diastolic velocity and resistive index(P>0.05).The pulse wave velocity at the end of the systole in dyslipidemia group was higher than that in normal group(P<0.05).Conclusion The risk of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with dyslipidemia is higher than that in patients with normal blood lipids.Ultrafast pulse wave velocity can detect carotid atherosclerosis earlier.
