Clinical features of elderly ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients
Abstract:Objective To study the clinical features of elderly type 2 diabetic patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) .Methods Four hundred elderly ischemic stroke patients were di-vided into ischemic stroke group (n=144) ,diabetes plus acute ischemic stroke group (n=256) , and 102 subjects undergoing physical examination served as a control group .Their serum HbA1c and hs-CRP level and carotid IM T were measured .Results The serum HbA1c and hs-CRP levels were significantly different in diabetes plus acute ischemic strore group ,ischemic stroke group and control group [(8 .16 ± 2 .47)% and (5 .01 ± 1 .76)% vs (5 .10 ± 1 .08)% ,(4 .23 ± 2 .76)ng/L and (3.42 ± 2 .02)ng/L vs (1 .50 ± 1 .54)ng/L ,P< 0 .05] .Age ,hypertension ,serum HbA1c and hs-CRP level were the independent risk factors for carotid atherosclerosis .The carotid atheroscle-rosis was severer in diabetes plus acute ischemic stroke group than in ischemic stroke group and control group (70 .3% vs 46 .5% and 8 .8% ,P<0 .05) .The carotid IM T was positively related with the serum HbA1c and hs-CRP level (r=0 .317 ,r=0 .208 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion Carotid atherosclerotic plaques are closely related with serum HbA 1c and hs-CRP level in elderly type 2 diabetic patients with ICVD .
