Morphologic changes of arterial walls can be easily detected using B-mode ultrasound method. This technique enables the evaluation of the degree of atherogenesis regarding spe\u00adcific coronary risk factors, and can be used in research concerning the connections between carotid artery atherosclerosis and coronary artery disease. Our research involved male indi\u00adviduals, aged 30\u201350, divided into two groups as follows. One including patients with a history of myocardial infarction and the second consisting of asymptomatic individuals. All the participants had assessments of blood glucose, total cho\u00adlesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides, t-PA, PAI, fibrinogen, serum iron and transferrin lev\u00adels. The thickness of intima-media coplex was measured in the common carotid arteries, in the area of bifurcation and in the proximal part of internal carotid arteries using B-mode ultra\u00adsound. The results indicated that among the coronary risk factors investigated in the study, previous history of coronary disease had the great\u00adest effect on the carotid vessel wall thickness. Other factors that showed significant correlation with carotid intima-media thickness included dias\u00adtolic blood pressure, HDL-choleterol levels and activity of t-PA and PAI. Our results showed that HDL-cholesterol, hypertension and fibrinolytic parameters represent important risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic lesions in the carotid vascular bed. This study also presumes sig\u00adnificant associations between atherosclerosis of coronary and carotid arteries. Therefore the carotid artery wall thickness can be an important predictor of the development of coronary artery disease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coronary and carotid arterial beds are affected early in the process of atheroscle\u00adrosis.
