The Total Value Of The Vascular Echo Tracking Technology Assessment In Patients With Carotid Artery Elasticity Hyperuricemia Functions

Objective To investigate the clinical value of Echo-Tracking techniques in evaluating the carotid elasticity in patients with hyperuricemia and hyperuricemia combined with hyperlipidemia.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with hyperuricemia were divided into two group:group of hyperuricemia (group A) and group of hyperuricemia combined with hyperlipidemia (group B). Sixty normal persons were served as the control group. ET was used to measure the carotid artery elastic modulus including stiffness parameters (β),pressure-strain elastic modulus (Ep), arterial compliance (AC), augmentation index (AI) and pulse wave conducting velocity (PWVβ). Then we analyzed the statistical data to observe the changes of each parameter.Results①the comparation of two-dimensional ultrasound measurements in three groups:There are no significiant differences in eachgroup;②In the comparison of three groups, elastic function index β, Ep, PWV β and AI in group A and group B were higher than those of control group (p<0.05); however, AC was lower than that of control group (p<0.05); Compared with group A, elastic function indexβ、Ep、PWVβ、AI were higher in group B; while the AC was lower than that of group B (p<0.05).Conclusion ET may be helpful to prevent atherosclerotic changes and to provide the basis for the clinical diagonosis and treatment atherosclerotic changes.
