Abstract
One of the leading causes of death in the globe is coronary artery disease (CAD). Patients at high risk for coronary artery disease will be included in this study to determine if carotid artery Doppler ultrasonography and computed tomography of coronary artery (CTA) findings are predictive of severe coronary artery disease (CAD). A prospective observational study was conducted on 70 patients who were admitted to the Nasr City Clinic and the Banha University Cardiology Clinic at the time of the study's completion. ECG abnormalities were found in 22 (31.4 percent) of patients, and the mean age of the patients studied was 51.9 years, with a standard deviation (SD) of 9.3 years. Each side had an average of 1.3 0.3 inches of intima media thickness. Atherosclerosis was seen in 39 (55.7 percent) of the patients with carotid artery damage. Carotid artery Doppler U/S results and CT angiography have a strong association. The conclusion is that carotid IMT can be a useful screening technique for CAD. The findings will provide light on the current clinical state of IMT in the detection of coronary artery disease.
