SONOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS OF CAROTID ARTERIES - A REVIEW OF LITERATURE

We conducted a systematic review of the literature that has examined carotid arteries using ultrasonography in order to better explain association between diabetes, hypertension, and intima-media thickness (IMT). The goal this study was also get precise evaluation increasing predictive value for clinical cardiovascular outcomes. From 2000 through 2021, we searched Google Scholar, NCBI, PubMed, Medscape databases. following essential keywords were looked up: ultrasound arteries, common thickness, IMT diabetes hypertension. Of 135 retained studies percentage detection used calculate diseases affect intima–media thickness. As result causes alter thickness: hypertension at 81.4 % 80 respectively. Coronary artery disease 21.4%, dyslipidemia stroke 14.8% 5.2% Microalbuminuria 3%. However, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, peripheral arterial (PAD) chronic kidney (CKD) an equal effect 2.2%, MI 1.5%. Breast calcification, polycystic kidneys glomerulonephritis 0.7%. In conclusion, patients with are most risk developing coronary disease.
