The Benefit of Ultrasound Screening of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis in Diabetic Patients with Coronary Artery Disease
Background: The preventive task force reaffirmed its 2007 recommendation against screening for asymptomatic carotid stenosis with Doppler ultrasound (US). This recommendation was not tailored to include high risk subgroups (diabetics with coronary artery disease). Methods: We conducted a retrospective case control study on previously asymptomatic, elderly, diabetic patients with history of coro...
متن کاملCarotid stenosis and peripheral artery disease in Japanese patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
The combination of a change in lifestyle toward Western habits and an aging society, has led to a steady increase in the incidence of atherosclerotic diseases in the Japanese population. Coronary artery disease (CAD), carotid stenosis (CS), and peripheral artery disease (PAD) are major manifestations of generalized atherosclerosis and increase the risk of cardiovascular events.

متن کاملCilostazol prevents progression of asymptomatic carotid artery stenosis in patients with contralateral carotid artery stenting.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The progression of atherosclerosis is related to various factors. Although antiplatelet therapy is used for the management of acute ischemic stroke and for the prevention of recurrent stroke, the antiplatelet agent cilostazol may also reduce restenosis after stent implantation in any vessel. This study was performed to assess the impact of cilostazol on plaque progression...
متن کاملEvaluation of iron status in patients with coronary artery disease
Background: Iron can causes lipid peroxidation in vivo and in vitro. Iron promotes myocardial injury in experimental animals. Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) oxidation by oxidants including iron have a central role in atherosclerotic process. By this means, evaluation of serum iron in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) has a significant importance. Materials and Methods: In this cross s...
متن کاملPrevalence of carotid artery stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease in Japanese population.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Prevalence of carotid artery stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown in Japanese population. METHODS The study populations consisted of 632 consecutive patients who underwent coronary angiography because of suspicion of CAD. All patients underwent carotid ultrasonography to screen carotid artery stenosis before coronary angiography. We defined...
