Abstract：Objective:To analysis the correlations between carotid atherosclerosis and extent and severity of coronary artery lesions. Method:From January 2013 to December 2013,210 patients with coronary arteriography in our hospital were selected and divided into coronary heart disease group(n=110) and non coronary heart disease group (n=100) according to the degree of pathological changes.Did bilateral carotid ultrasound examination for all the patients to exam the patient’s carotid artery lesions.Then the results of two groups were compared.Result:The crouse integral, patch number and grade points were (3.67±3.10),(1.35±1.21) and (2.20±1.96) in coronary heart disease group,which were higher than (2.36±1.85), (0.96±0.81) and (1.46±1.30) in non coronary heart disease group(P<0.05).The integral narrow degree aggravating with the increase of its pathological changes and the results above were statistically significance(P<0.001).The correlation coefficient of carotid plaques severity and coronary lesions was 0.396(P<0.05).Conclusion:It has positive correlation between carotid plaques severity and coronary lesions.Do normal carotid ultrasound examination for the coronary heart disease patients with many risk factors can early detect the patients at high risk of coronary heart disease.
