ABSTRACT

This paper mainly studies and explores the relationship between carotid plaques and common pathogenic factors in patients with hyperlipidemia, as well as the relationship between blood lipid levels and carotid plaque volume. This study collected 106 patients with hyperlipidemia and carotid artery plaques admitted to Xi'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital. Xi'an Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital uses ultrasound equipment to collect the location and volume information of carotid artery plaques, and uses Hitachi fully automatic analyzer to collect blood lipid values. This article analyzes the relationship between carotid artery plaques and common risk factors (age, underlying diseases, lifestyle habits), as well as the relationship between carotid artery plaque size and TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, and apolipoprotein. The independent sample t-test results showed that carotid artery plaques were associated with hypertension, age, and hyperlipidemia (P<0.05). Correlation analysis results: The size of carotid artery plaques is positively correlated with TC and LDL-C, while negatively correlated with HDL-C and serum apolipoprotein A1 (P<0.05). Carotid artery plaques are associated with hypertension, age, and hyperlipidemia. The size of carotid artery plaques is positively correlated with TC and LDL-C, while negatively correlated with HDL-C and serum apolipoprotein A1.
