Abstract：Objective To evaluate the diagnostic significance of carotid ultrasound and hs-CRP test in acute myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods Three groups of patients were investigated in this study: the first group was composed of 180 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus; the second group included 143 patients diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction who had a history of unresolved type 2 diabetes mellitus; the third group was the control group with 150 healthy people. Color Doppler ultrasound were performed in the three groups to measure carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and observe the plaque number and characteristic in carotid arteries. Meanwhile, the hs- CRP levels in serum were measured and compared. Results The IMT, plaque number and characteristic in carotid arteries, as well as hs-CRP levels in serum showed significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05). In the second group, the levels of hs-CRP in patients with unstable plaques were higher than the patients with stable plaques[ (13.88±5.70) mg/L vs (9.36±5.54) mg/L] (P<0.05). Conclusion Carotid ultrasound combined with hs-CRP test could be used as predictors for acute myocardial infarction in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
