Objective: To study the intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid artery, the diameter of common carotid artery in hypertensive patients; to study the relationship between the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) with left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients. Studying group: 36 patients of hypertension with degree 1, 2 were treated at Hospital 108 from 4/2009 to 9/2010, age (35-65), mean age (45.9). They were divided into two groups. Group 1 hypertensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (31 patients). Group 2: hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy (32 patients). Methods: the cross-sectional study. Data processing statistics on SPSS 15.0 software. Results: the B - mode ultrasound image with high resolution (7.5 MHz) was used to assess the thickness of the intima - media layer and diameter of the carotid artery. In the group of hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy, the results showed that the diameter of common carotid artery, the diameter of carotid arterybifurcation were less than that in the group of hypertenvive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy, but the difference was not statistically significant (p 0.05), however in the former group, the intima - media thickness of the common carotid artery increased remarkably compared to the latter group (p 0.01). An Increase in intima - media thickness of common carotid arterywas shown to be correlated to left ventricular hypertrophy (r
