CORRELATION OF CAROTID ARTERY INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS WITH CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE

Dr. Dhruv Garg, Dr. Rajneesh Madhok

Abstract


Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases generally go undiagnosed before the onset of symptoms andtherefore thereis a need for modalitie sthat are reliable, cost-effective, easy to perform, with minimal limitation sand that canact as earlyindicators of Coronary Artery Disease. In recent years, a multitude of studies have focused on Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness (CAIMT) as an earlypredictor of Coronary Artery Disease

(CAD). This studyaims to find the co-relation between CAIMT and CAD.

Materials and Methods: This observational prospectivestudy includes all adult patients diagnosed with Coronary Artery Disease on catheter angiography , after taking a written informed consent from the patient ,they were included in the study.

Results :Total out of 50 patientsMean CIMT >0.902mm was indicated to coronary artery disease with sensitivity of 75.0%, specificity of 83.3% and accuracy was 80.7%. 

Conclusion: Increased carotid intima media thickness is a marker for coronary artery disease. It may haveconsiderable importance as a screening tool for coronary artery disease and may improve risk stratification.
