摘要
The aim of this study was to clarify the magnitude of common carotid artery (CCA) structural and hemodynamic parameters on brain white and gray matter lesions in patients with essential hypertension (EHT). The study subjects were 49 EHT patients without a history of previous myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, diabetes mellitus, impaired glucose tolerance, chronic renal failure, symptomatic cerebrovascular events, or asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis. All patients underwent brain MRI and ultrasound imaging of the CCA. MRI findings were evaluated by periventricular hyperintensity (PVH), deep and subcortical white matter hyperintensity (DSWMH), and etat crible according to the Japanese Brain dock Guidelines of 2003. Intima media thickness (IMT), and mean diastolic (V-d) and systolic (V-s) velocities were evaluated by carotid ultrasound. The V-d/V-s ratio was further calculated as a relative diastolic flow velocity. The mean IMT and max IMT were positively associated with PVH, DSWMH, and etat crible (mean IMT: rho=0.473, 0.465, 0.494, p=0.0007, 0.0014, 0.0008, respectively; max IMT: rho=0.558, 0.443, 0.514, p=0.0001, 0.0024, 0.0004, respectively). V-d/V-s was negatively associated with etat crible (rho=-0.418, p=0.0038). Carotid structure and hemodynamics are potentially related to asymptomatic lesions in the cerebrum, and might be predictors of future cerebral vascular events in patients with EHT.
