Correlation of Intima Media Thickness of Carotid Arteries with Coronary Artery Disease

Dr Avadhesh Narayan Khare

Abstract: INTRODUCTION The demonstration of a correlation between IMT and cardiovascular events in clinical events in clinical studies have led to accepting 2D ultrasound as a valid technique in measuring atherosclerosis. This technique is non-invasive, cost-effective, simple, safe and reproducible. AIMS AND OBJECTIVES To correlate intima media thickness with coronary artery disease. RESULT AND OBSERVATIONS IMT was significantly increased in patients who had acute coronary syndrome. p value

Keywords: Intima media thickness, carotid arteries, atherosclerosis
