Background: Diabetes and hypertension are related to cardiovascular risk factors and are possible to detect
development of atherosclerosis in cardiovascular system, were can predict their effect and measurement by
ultrasound and Doppler study. These risk factors included increased intima-media thickness, resistive index
(RI) and pulsatility index (PI) of the right common carotid arteries.
Method: We studied 20 patients with diabetes and hypertension, and 20 patients with diabetes only, were
examine right carotid arteries for these two groups. In this sample we studied the Lumen diameter of the Rt.
carotid arteries, Intima – media thickness (IMT), peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity, and Pulsatility
index, Resistance index were
