    Abstract

    The aim of the study is to determine carotid Intima-medial thickness (CIMT) in patients of myocardial infarction. Past History of CAD, systemic hypertension, diabetes mellitus, Hypothyroidism, History of Risk factors. Family History of CAD./DM/HTN, written consent of all cases & control subjects was taken and all ethical issues considered. Results: Mean CIMT 0.536, seen in pts <45 years of age. Mean CIMT 0.834, seen in pts between 45-65 years of age. Mean CIMT 0.87, seen in pts >65 years of age. Mean CIMT increases as age increases. We found maximum risk in smoking/tobacco chewing 25% & dyslipidemia 21% respectively. Conclusion: Out of 100 cases of myocardial infarction (48%) had Grade I obesity, 08 cases had Grade II obesity & rest (44%) cases had normal BMI. We found that Carotid Intima-medial thickness was statistically significant higher in myocardial infarction patients.
