Objective: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between strain and elasticity of the common carotid artery (CCA) by ultrasonography and evaluate its clinical significance in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).

Methods: A total of 68 DN patients and 54 healthy subjects were randomly recruited from the Ultrasound Department from April 2014 to March 2015. The maximum of circumferential strain (CSmax), maximum of circumferential strain rate (CSRmax), compliance coefficient (CC) and stiffness index (β) of the CCA were determined by ultrasonography in all the patients, and correlation analysis was performed.
