Elevated plasma homocysteine and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with cerebral infarction of the relationship analysis / 中国现代医生

ABSTRACT

Objective To elevated plasma homocysteine (Hcy) the relationship between carotid atherosclerosis and cere-bral infarction patients were studied. Methods 60 patients with acute cerebral infarction from September 2012 to September 2014 in our hospital were collected as the study group. The empty stomach blood, determination of Hcy, and the examination of the carotid artery colour was hospitalized for the next day to exceed, observed whether carotid atherosclerosis. At the same time, 60 cases of healthy subjects of the same period were examined as the control group. Results The two groups had statistical significance in hypertension, diabetes, low-density lipoprotein and Hcy (P<0.05), There was no difference in drinking history, smoking history, total cholesterol and triglyceride index (P>0.05), and mul-tivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that plasma Hcy levels and carotid atherosclerosis were positively correlated. Conclusion Elevated plasma homocysteine is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, and we have close ties and cerebral in-farction.
