Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application value of color Doppler ultrasound in evaluation of CAD (Carotid Artery Disease) in patients with NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease). Methods Altogether 189 NAFLD patients who had been treated in the hospital from June 2012 to June 2014 were recruited in this study and divided evenly into three groups according to the severity of NAFLD: Mild Group, Moderate Group and Severe Group with each group 63 cases. Carotid artery color Doppler ultrasound was performed in three groups to calculate the IMT (Intima-Media Thickness), the detection rate of plaques, PSV (Peak Systolic Velocity), EDV (End Diastolic Velocity), MV (Mean Velocity) and RI (Resistant Index). Then, comparisons were made between the measurement results of three groups. Results The IMT and detection rate of plagues in the left and right common carotid artery trunk as well as the enlargement area in patients of Moderate Group and Severe Group were higher than Mild Group; while, PSV, EDV and MV in those groups were lower than Mild Group; RI was higher than Mild Group. Statistically significant differences existed between three groups (P<0.05). The IMT, RI and the detection rate of plaques in Severe Group were higher than those of Moderate Group; the PSV, EDV and MV in Severe Group were lower than those of Moderate Group with statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Negative correlation was revealed between the severity of NAFLD and PSV, EDV as well as MV. While, positive correlation was revealed between the severity of NAFLD and IMT, the detection rate of plagues as well as RI. Conclusion Application of carotid artery color Doppler ultrasonography could accurately evaluate the severity of CAD in patients with NAFLD, which provided reliable references for selection of clinical treatment and deserved to be applied.
