Abstract
Objective To explore the significance of carotid ultrasonography in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension.Methods 120 cases of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension underwent high-frequency color Doppler ultrasound to measure carotid artery diameter and intima-media thickness (IMT).Selected 113 cases of simple hypertension as the control group.Results Incidences of carotid artery plaque and thickening IMT of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension were 82.5％ and 75.4％ respectively,significantly higher than 30.7％ and 41.3％of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Left and right IMT of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension were (0.96 ± 0.13) mm and (0.98 ± 0.10) mm,significantly different from (0.68 ± 0.07) mm and (0.70 ± 0.08) mm of the control group (P ＜ 0.01).Left and right carotid artery diameter of patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension were (0.77 ± 0.12) mm and (0.73 ± 0.10) mm,those of the control group were (0.68 ± 0.06) mm and (0.69 ± 0.07) mm,without statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The incidence of carotid atherosclerosis in patients with paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia and hypertension increased. Key words: Carotid ultrasonic examination; Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia; Hypertension
