Abstract

Increased intima-media thickness(IMT) of the common carotid artery is an early marker of atherosclerosis and a powerful predictor of coronary and cerebrovascular diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between carotid artery IMT and cardiovascular risk factors. Total 134 adult were performed with Ultrasonography to measure IMT at common carotid artery, the physical measurements and blood tests, the following results were obtained. As a result, IMT showed higher value in male IMT than female IMT. And, the IMT increased according to the age increased. Also, TC and AI have positive significant correlation with IMT. In Conclusion, cardiovascular risk factors with adult are associated with increased IMT of common carotid artery.

경동맥 내중막 두께의 증가는 죽상경화증의 조기 표지자이며 관상동맥 질환과 뇌혈관 질환의 강력한 예측자이다. 이 연구의 목적은 성인에서 총경동맥 내중막 두께와 심혈관질환 위험인자들 사이의 연관성을 알아보고자 하였다. 총 134명을 대상으로 초음파를 이용하여 총경동맥 내중막 두께를 측정하였으며, 신체계측과 혈액검사를 시행하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 연구결과 남성의 내중막 두께가 여성에 비해 더 두꺼운 것으로 나타났으며, 연령이 증가함에 따라 내중막 두께도 유의하게 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 혈중지질 중 총 콜레스테롤과 동맥경화지수가 내중막 두께와 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과를 정리하면 성인에서 심혈관질환 위험인자는 총경동맥 내중막 두께 증가와 연관성이 있는 것으로 나타났다.
