Correlation Analysis of Cardiac Diastolic Function and Intima-Media Thickness in the Common Carotid Artery of Ultrasonography

In this study, 230 subjects of medical examination were investigated to figure out the relationship with common carotid artery intima-media thickness and cardiac diastolic function. In addition, the change in the carotid artery intima- media thickness according to the presence or absence of metabolic syndrome was examined. As a result of the study the carotid artery intima-media thickness was thick as the age increased and there was a large difference in those in their 60s and over. There was no gender difference. As for metabolic syndrome the carotid artery intima-media thickness was thicker in the study subjects with high blood pressure diabetes and dyslipidemia. The correlation between the carotid artery intima-media thickness and diastolic function indexes was significant. As a result of hierarchical regression analysis the thicker the intima-media thickness in the carotid artery the lower cardiac diastolic function.
