ABSTRACT

Objective to investigate the characteristics of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral infarction and its relationship with cerebral infarction. Methods: One hundred and sixty patients with cerebral infarction were included in the study. Ultrasound examination of cervical artery was used to analyze and compare the differences of clinical data between stable and unstable plaques, including gender, hypertension, diabetes, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride (TG), cholesterol (TC), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C). Results: The number of stable plaques was more than that of unstable plaques, and the proportion of flattened plaques was the highest (30.6%) and that of mixed plaques the lowest (18.6%). The proportions of smoking, hypertension and diabetes in patients with unstable plaques were significantly higher than those in patients with stable plaques. The levels of fasting blood glucose, TG, TC, hs-CRP and LDL-C were significantly higher than those in patients with stable plaques. Logistics multivariate analysis of carotid plaque stability in patients with cerebral infarction showed that smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hs-CRP were risk factors for carotid plaque stability in patients with cerebral infarction. Conclusion: Carotid stable plaque is the common cause of cerebral infarction, and the proportion of unstable plaque is higher. Smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and hs- CRP were the risk factors for the instability of carotid plaques.
