Abstract:Objective: To investigate the clinical value of carotid artery ultrasound parameters combined with plasma small and dense low-density lipoprotein (sd-LDL) in evaluating atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in diabetic patients. Methods: The clinical data of 104 diabetic patients admitted to the hospital from July to December 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. Patients with simple diabetes were defined as the control group (n=51) and those with ASCVD were defined as the observation group (n=53). Carotid artery ultrasound parameters and sd-LDL were compared between groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the influencing factors of ASCVD in diabetic patients. The clinical value of carotid artery ultrasound parameters and sd-LDL in evaluating ASCVD in diabetic patients was discussed. Results: Carotid artery ultrasound parameters (carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque score) and sd-LDL level in the observation group were larger/higher than the control group (P<0.05). The numbers of smokers in the two groups were close (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis found that IMT, plaque score and sd-LDL level were influencing factors of ASCVD in diabetic patients (P<0.05). Conclusion: Carotid artery ultrasound parameters and sd-LDL are much helpful for evaluating ASCVD in diabetic patients. Clinically, combination of IMT and plaque score and sd-LDL level can be adopted to provide a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment of ASCVD.
