Abstract：Objective To evaluate the application of carotid artery ultrasound combined with ankle brachial index (ABI) in prediction
of middle age hypertensive ischemic stroke by contrasting cerebral MR inspection. Methods A total of 50 patients with hypertensive
ischemic stroke from neurology in our hospital between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2016, and 50 hypertensive patients without
ischemic stroke were chosen in this study. All the patients in the treatment group underwent cerebral MR inspection, carotid artery
ultrasound, ABI detection, and carotid artery ultrasound combined with ankle brachial index detection. While those in the control group
were treated with cerebral MRI. The detection results were analyzed statistically. Results The total cholesterol (TC) and low density
lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) in stroke group were much higher than those in control group (P<0.05) and smokers were more than
those in control group (P<0.01). The incidence of carotid artery IMT and carotid plaque in stroke group was significantly higher than
that in control group. The area under ROC curve of carotid artery ultrasound combined with ABI was significantly larger than that of
simple carotid artery ultrasound examination or simple ABI detection. Conclusion Reducing lipid, quit smoking, regularly carotid artery
ultrasound combined with ABI examination can predict and prevent ischemic stroke more effectively for middle age hypertensive.
