INVESTIGATING THE COMMON CAROTID INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objectives: To investigate the common carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at Military Hospital 103. Subjects and methods: This was cross-sectional study included 59 patients with AMI at Military Hospital 103 from May, 2021 to Jun, 2022. Results: Mean age was 67.0 ± 12.5 years; male/female ratio was 3.5/1. The majority of patients presented with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (81.4%). The mean CIMT was 1.01 ± 0.31 mm; CIMT < 0,9 mm, CIMT ≥ 0,9 - 1,49 mm and ≥ 1.5 mm accounted for 39.0%, 20.3% and 40.7%, respectively. Mean age of group CIMT ≥ 0,9 mm (69,7 ± 11,5) was significantly higher than group CIMT < 0,9 mm (62,7 ± 13,1), p< 0,05. Mean BMI, smoking, diabetes rate were not significantly different between the 2 groups. There was no correlation between CIMT with cholesterol concentration and LDL-C. Conclusion: The mean CIMT was 1.01 ± 0.31 mm; CIMT < 0,9 mm, CIMT ≥ 0,9 - 1,49 mm and ≥ 1.5 mm accounted for 39.0%, 20.3% and 40.7%, respectively. Mean age of group CIMT ≥ 0,9 mm was significantly higher than group CIMT < 0,9 mm
