Abstract:Objective: This study was aimed to evaluate whether there is any potential role of the measurement of the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) during the echocardiography session on decision-making to refer patients for further diagnostic evaluation such as gated myocardial perfusion imaging (gMPI). Methods: cIMT of 199 consecutive patients was measured during the echocardiography session and all patients underwent gMPI. According to gMPI results, patie… Show more
“…Bu sayede non-invazif yöntemlerle artışı tespit edilen karotis arter intima-medya kalınlığı (KİMK), birçok çalışmada koroner arter hastalığı açısından yüksek riskli bireyleri belirlemek için kullanılmıştır. [6,7] Bu çalışmada, KS nedeni ile takip edilen hastalarda ateroskleroz sürecinin bir göstergesi olan KİMK'nin değerlendirilmesi amaçlandı.…”
Our cross-sectional study revealed the presence of a negative effect of CS on the atherosclerotic process. Therefore, it is believed that effective treatment of CS may be beneficial in slowing the process of atherosclerosis.
