Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Abstract: The burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) continues to rise globally, including India, due to adopting of sedentary lifestyles. Stroke and myocardial infarction are clearly interrelated events. Determine the incidence of carotid artery atherosclerosis by carotid Doppler ultrasonography in patients with coronary artery disease in a tertiary care hospital. This prospective study was done at kamineni hospitals, l.b. nagar, hyderabad, during june 2012 to March 2014 over 70 patients. The overall incidence of Carotid artery atherosclerosis measured in terms of increased IMT, the presence of plaques, the presence of hemodynamically significant stenosis in carotid and vertebral artery. Increased IMT found in 65.715, plaques in 62.85%, carotid artery stenosis in 14.28%, and carotid and vertebral artery stenosis in 22.85% cases. Incidence of increased IMT, plaques and hemodynamically significant stenosis in the carotid and vertebral artery is more common in TVD patients than SVD patients. However, there is no such association between SVD & DVD and DVD &TVD patients.
