Abstract

Association of Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Periscope Markers with Coronary Artery Disease, Risk factors and Biomarkers in Asian Indians

Surrogate sub clinical markers provide an important dimension to cardiovascular risk stratification. We studied the association of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and Periscope markers with CAD, classical risk factors and cardiac biomarkers in a cohort of 125 CAD patients with strong family history of cardiovascular disease and 585 unaffected family members selected from the Indian Atherosclerosis Research Study.
