Abstract:Objective: To evaluate the subclinical atherosclerosis and to confirm the effect in the risk classification in hypertension patients by measuring the carotid intimamedia thickness(CIMT). Methods:We chose 94 hypertension patients \[(56.9±12.1)years\] who were diagnosed and treated for the first time, all of the patients accepted clinical and biochemical examination, echocardiography, and the ultrasound examination, CIMT was measured. Results:Sixty patients(63.8%) were classified to the low risk group and 22 patients(23.4%) were classified to the media risk group by the Framingham score. The increased thickness of the CIMT was observed in 68(72.3%) patients of all the patients including the low risk and media risk groups. Fifty-six patients(59.6%) were reclassified by measuring the CIMT. Thirty-six patients(60.0%) of the low risk group were reclassified to the media risk group and 20 patients(90.9%) of the media risk group were reclassified to the high risk group. Conclusion:Measuring the CIMT can be beneficial for risk reclassification in hypertension patients.
