[Abstract] Objective To analyze the risk factors of carotid body tumor (CBT) in the plateau area, explore the relationship between carotid body tumor and ipsilateral carotid plaque, discuss the advantages of high resolution vascular wall imaging (HR-VWI) in the diagnosis of CBT and carotid plaque.Materials and Methods A total of 194 patients who underwent HR-VWI examination and had resided in Qinghai region all year round were analyzed. Patients were divided into CBT group and non-CBT group, and the general and clinical data of the two groups were compared. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of CBT. If the ipsilateral CBT was accompanied by carotid plaque, the property and number of plaques were determined, and the relationship between CBT and ipsilateral carotid plaque was analyzed.Results Gender (OR=20.082, 95% CI: 6.661-60.997, P＜0.001), Age (OR=0.958, 95% CI: 0.926-0.991, P=0.014), Altitude of residence (OR=1.001, 95% CI: 1.000-1.002, P=0.018), Hemoglobin (OR=1.022, 95% CI: 1.003-1.043, P=0.026), Average hemoglobin concentration (OR=0.936, 95% CI: 0.895-0.979, P=0.004) were risk factors for CBT; CBT will increase the incidence of ipsilateral carotid plaques (χ2=7.260, P＜0.05); the incidence of plaque has nothing to do with CBT classification (χ2=1.117, P＞0.05); plaque property has nothing to do with the CBT classification (χ2=1.138, P＞0.05).Conclusions CBT increases the incidence of ipilateral carotid plaque; HR-VWI can accurately diagnose CBT and carotid plaque.
