Abstract

Objective: A study on vascular pathology of carotid artery in hypertension by newly E-Tracking technology. Methods: A total of 108 cases were divided into two groups: hypertension group(56 cases) and normal group(52 cases). The change of artery function were evaluated by E-Tracking technique. Results: Compared with the normal group, data of Eρ, β, PWVβ and IMT were significantly higher in hypertension(P<0.01). In hypertension group, PWVβ was positively correlated with β, Eρ, IMT and negatively correlated with AC, while there was no correlation among Eρ, β, AC, IMT and AI. Conclusions: E-Tracking technology can be used to reflect the vascular changes of hypertension, and it is a convenient and practical method to evaluate vascular endothelial function.
