摘要
颈动脉内膜-中膜厚度(IMT)是指颈动脉血管内膜和中膜之间的垂直距离。IMT增厚是动脉粥样硬化的早期表现,与缺血性脑血管病密切相关,也与多种血管危险因素有关,被认为是反映全身动脉粥样硬化性疾病的良好指标。临床上可借助超声检测颈动脉IMT来反映动脉粥样硬化的发生、发展或消退,并提供临床防治动脉粥样硬化的依据和疗效判断标准。
The carotid intima-media thickness （IMT） refers to the vertical dimension between carotid intima and media. Thickening of IMT is an early manifestation of atherosclerosis. It closely correlates with the ischemic cerebrovascular disease, and it is also associated with a number of vascular risk factors. It is known as a good index for reflecting systematic atherosclerotic disease. Sonography can be used for detecting carotid IMT to reflect the occurrence, development or resolution of atherosclerosis in clinical practice, and it may provide the basis of clinical prevention and treatment of atherosclerosis, and standards for efficacy evaluation.
