“…There was positive association with increased number of coronary artery involved. 37 558 patients were evaluated in a study by Kablak-Ziemcicka et al who found that an individual with CIMT value of >1.15 mm had a 94% chance of having significant CAD. 38 All these findings produced the concept of CIMT as surrogate marker of CAD.…”

It is known from the post-mortem studies of accidental death that atherosclerotic process begins in childhood and gradually progresses over decades. Only when the process leads to flow limiting stenosis as a gradual narrowing or when a thrombus forms at a site of plaque due to rupture or erosion, then the clinical cardiovascular event is manifested. Although only a certain percentage of people with underlying atherosclerosis become manifest, the greater degree of subclinical atherosclerosis is associated with greater chance of future events. The event could be sudden cardiac death at its extreme. The ultrasound measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has withstood test of time as an important technique of measuring atherosclerotic burden. It has been more than three decades to know the value of CIMT in the risk prediction.NepaleseHeart Journal 2018; 15(1): 9-15

“…Indeed, several epidemiological studies have explored the associations of these risk factors with progression of peripheral atherosclerosis (as measured by IMT of the carotid artery, thoracic aorta, popliteal artery, superficial femoral artery, and radial artery) and CAD [22][23][24]. In particular, significant correlations between CAD and carotid IMT have been reported [15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…The severity of coronary artery disease has been estimated by the number of diseased vessels in many studies. [28][29][30] Although decreased adiponectin levels were observed in patients with coronary artery disease, the association between adiponectin levels and severity of coronary artery disease is controversial. Some investigators have reported a negative correlation between adiponectin levels and the severity of coronary artery disease.…”

SUMMARYThe purpose of this study was to examine the relation between adiponectin levels and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Serum concentrations of adiponectin and carotid intima/media thickness (IMT) were measured in 84 consecutive patients who underwent CABG. Carotid IMT both at the common carotid artery and carotid bulb level was correlated negatively and significantly (r = -0.581 and r = -0.415, respectively, P < 0.01) with the serum concentrations of adiponectin. Linear regression modeling identified adiponectin as the strongest predictive variable for carotid IMT both at the common carotid artery and carotid bulb level (P < 0.001). Stepwise regression analyses also showed that adiponectin was the strongest independent determinant of the carotid IMT both at the common carotid artery and the carotid bulb level (F = 20.215 and F = 19.565, respectively, P < 0.001). The mean number of diseased coronary arteries, mean number of distal anastomoses, cardiopulmonary bypass time, and aortic cross-clamping time did not significantly correlate with the serum concentrations of adiponectin. The findings indicate the presence of an inverse relationship between serum concentrations of adiponectin and subclinical carotid atherosclerosis in patients undergoing CABG. In these patients, the absence of a significant correlation between severity of coronary atherosclerosis and adiponectin might suggest that adiponectin levels may predict the early stages rather than further progression of atherosclerosis.
