摘要: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether high-risk hypertensive patients (n = 137) had larger far-wall common carotid artery intima-media thickness than a control group 37) and related other signs atherosclerotic disease. results showed that significantly in the hypertension group. Lumen diameter mean cross-sectional area complex were both for with positive history manifest clinical cardiovascular disease no such There significant relationship between plaque status (visual scoring, no, small, moderate/large) region. In univariate analyses, low diastolic blood pressure high pulse status. multivariate independently there also an independent age thickness, smoking status, conclusion, lumen increased elderly patients, whom more one third moderate large region.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
