“…Dyslipidemia was present in 92 (37%) CAD patients. Out of 92, 43 (47%) patients had carotid artery disease and it was statistically significantly associated with carotid artery disease and this finding was correlating with study of Kamran Bagheri Lankari et al [9]. Mean CIMT in Patients who had dyslipidemia as a risk factor, was 0.74 ± 0.17mm (mean ± SD).…”

“…It was commonest risk factor found in this study. Study done by Kamran Bagheri Lankarani et al [9], in which obesity was statistically significantly associated with elevated carotid artery disease but in our study prevalence of carotid artery disease in obese patients was less as compare to this study. In diabetic group 33 (41%) patients had carotid artery disease and mean CIMT was 0.83 ± 0.17mm (mean ± SD) and highest mean CIMT was present in DM group.…”

Introduction: Early atherosclerosis mainly involves carotid artery, which leads to increased carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT).The potential value of CIMT improving the predictive capacity of traditional risk factors of CAD is an understudied and underutilized issue. Because of increasing availability of highly sensitive ultrasonography probes and for a noninvasive procedures, we can predict coronary artery disease (CAD) more precisely in patients having multiple traditional risk factors so it may reduce morbidity and mortality due to CAD and elevated CIMT can be used as surrogate marker of underlying CAD. Methods: This study enrolled 250 admitted patients as a case of CAD. The patients were assessed by detailed history taking, thorough clinical examination, measurement of CIMT, blood sugar and lipid level. Results: Carotid artery disease was present in 88 (35%) of 250 CAD patients. All modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were statistically significantly high in patients of CAD with carotid artery disease. In obese, diabetic, hypertensive, dyslipidemia and smoker patients, carotid artery disease was present in 55% (P = 0.00), 41% (P = 0.00), 43% (P = 0.007), 47% (P = 0.002) and 43% (P = 0.003) respectively. CAD patients who had 1 risk factor, 29% were associated with carotid artery disease. Comparison of single risk factor with patients who had no risk factor, there was non-significant correlation for carotid artery disease. CAD patients who had 2, 3, 4 and 5 risk factors, carotid artery disease was present 24 (32%) (p = 0.02), 15 (55%) (P = 0.0003), 17 (61%) (P = 0.00006) and 6 (67%) (P = 0.0008). Conclusion: elevated CIMT can be used as one of the important risk factor for early diagnosis of CAD and to reduce morbidity and mortality due to CAD.

Introduction and Aim: Increased carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) has been linked to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in India. Increased CIMT has been documented in Hypertension (HT), thus putting them at a higher risk of CVD. Early identification and awareness of risk factors leading to increased morbidity and mortality could help in reducing its incidence. The aim of the study was to measure CIMTin prehypertensive Indian population. Materials and Methods:In this analytical observational study, common carotid artery IMT was measured using B mode ultrasonography in 46 individuals having blood pressure in the prehypertensive range and 46 individuals with normal blood pressure. Cardiovascular risk factors like body mass index(BMI),fasting blood glucose (FBS), and lipid profile, which are known to influence CIMT,were also assessed and compared between the two groups. Results:CIMT was significantly higher in prehypertensives as compared to subjects having normal blood pressure. BMI, FBS, and lipid profile was found to be comparable between the two groups. Conclusions:The presence of increased CIMT in prehypertensives as compared to controls indicates an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.
