The article presents the results of a study of 68 patients with connective tissue dysplasia of the heart and the concomitant hypertension Doppler ultrasound of the brachiocephalic vessels. Established a correlation between the thickness of intima-media complex and the diameter of the brachiocephalic vessels, atherosclerotic plaques. Intima-media thickening and atherosclerotic plaques is more common, the deformation of the carotid and vertebral arteries in patients with connective tissue dysplasia of the heart and associated arterial hypertension. You must use a combination of methods of Doppler ultrasound of the brachiocephalic vessels and echocardiography.
