Relationship between artery elasticity, maximal shear rate and intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries in patients with early essential hypertension
Relationship between artery elasticity, maximal shear rate and intima-media thickness of the carotid arteries in patients with early essential hypertension
To probe the relationship between artery elasticity
maximal shear rate (SR) and intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arteries in the patients with early essential hypertension.
Methods:
55 cases of early essential hypertension and 50 healthy controls were selected from Shanghai Fifth Peoples Hospital
Fudan University. The IMT
peak icsystolic velocity (PSV) of the carotid arteries were measure
d with high resolution ultrasound. The diastolic diameter (Dd)
pressure strain elastic coefficient (Ep)
stiffness parameter ()
arterial compliance (AC) were detected by echo-tracking (ET) technique.
Results:
Compared with the control group
Ep
and Dd values were increased (
P
0.01)
PSV and SR were decreased (
P
0.01)
and AC value was decreased (
P
0.01) in the hypertension group. There was no difference in IMT value between the two groups. Ep and values had significant positive correlations with IMT (
r
=0.527
0.556;
P
0.01) and a significant negative correlation with SR (
r
=-0.513
-0.537;
P
0.01). AC value had a negative correlation with IMT (r=-0.477
P
0.01) and a positive correlation with SR(
r
=4.58
P
0.01). SR had a negative correlation with IMT (
r
=-0.537
P
0.01).
Conclusion:
There are changes in artery elasticity and SR in early essential hypertension. Lower SR can accelerate the injure of vascular endothelial function and the process of arteriosclerosis.
