Comparison of peripheral endothelial dysfunction and intimal media thickness in patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
OBJECTIVE Flow associated dilatation (FAD%) and intimal media thickness are established markers of early atherosclerosis. This study aimed to compare the ability of the non-invasive measurements FAD% and intimal media thickness to predict coronary artery disease. METHODS FAD% and intimal media thickness were determined using high resolution ultrasound in 122 patients with clinically suspected...
متن کاملRace-specific relationships between coronary and carotid artery calcification and carotid intimal medial thickness.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Calcified arterial plaque has been proposed as a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis. We compared it to a well-validated surrogate--carotid intimal medial thickness (IMT). METHODS Calcified arterial plaque was measured in 2 vascular beds (coronary and carotid) by computed tomography, and common carotid artery IMT was measured by B-mode ultrasonography, in 438 particip...
متن کاملTHALLIUM-201 STRESS TEST IN 156 PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Currently, myocardial TI-201 scintigraphy is most often performed in conjunction with exercise stress testing in patients with suspected or known CAD. Stress thallium tests were performed for 156 patients with and without old myocardial infarctions complaining of chest pain. All of them underwent contrast coronary angiography. Perfusion defects were mostly manifested as reversible defects ...

متن کاملIncreased carotid artery intimal-medial thickness in asymptomatic older subjects with exercise-induced myocardial ischemia.
BACKGROUND Previous studies have shown an association between symptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) and increased intimal-medial thickness of the common carotid artery (CCA IMT), a purported index of atherosclerosis. This study determines whether CCA IMT is increased in asymptomatic older subjects with an ischemic ST-segment response to treadmill exercise. METHODS AND RESULTS CCA IMT was ...
