Carotid arteries elasticity function by ultrasonic examining
Objective To investigate the carotid arteries elasticity function of join count. Methods 200 cases of healthy people have performed carotid artery ultrasound examination to compare carotid artery elastic function in different ages. Results Carotid artery distensibility(CAD) and artery stiffness( ASt) gradually increases with the increase of ages, and there are have significant differencel P<0.01). Carotid artery distensibility of male is higher than female in the over 60 years old(P<0.01), Arterial distensibility and arterial tension of enlargement of bilateral common carotid artery is significantly less than middle carotid artery(P<0. 01), and artery stiffness of enlargement of bilateral common carotid artery is significantly larger than middle carotid artery! P<0. 01). Conclusion Ultrasonic examination is an effective way to evaluate carotid arteries elasticity function.
