A Study of Correlation between Carotid Intimal Medial Thickness and Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Patients of Systemic Hypertension
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 7
Abstract
Aim: To study carotid intima media thickness by Ultrasonography and establish diagnosis of left ventricular hypertrophy by echocardiography and electrogram, in patients of systemic hypertension. To correlate the findings of carotid ultrasonography with left ventricular hypertrophy. Materials and Methods: The study was conducted at M.M. Institute of medical sciences and research, Mullana, Ambala. Fifty hypertensive patients with age <55years were taken from OPD and indoor wards of medicine department. According to JNC 7 criteria, stage 1 and stage 2 was considered for this study. B mode ultrasonography and M mode 2 Dimensional echocardiography along with electrocardiogram were used to estimate the carotid intima medial thickness and left ventricular hypertrophy. The data obtained was subjected to appropriate statistical analysis for assuring the results of the study. Result: There was appositive correlation between carotid intima media thickness and left ventricular hypertrophy. Conclusion: Ultrasonography of carotids and 2D- Echocardiography should be performed in all patients of essential hypertension to so that early detection of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular complication of hypertension can be facilitated.
