“…In our study, total age ranged from 45-81 years with mean age of 61.17 ± 9.54 years and mean total body mass index (BMI) was 25.43 ± 3.40 kg/m 2 (Table 1) which is comparable to other authors. [20][21][22][23][24] Our study showed signi cantly higher prevalence in men (57.1%) than in women (42.9%) coincides with other studies. 20,24,25 In our study majority of the plagues were located in common carotid artery of left carotid artery similar to Kwon TG et al and Khattak et al 19,26 In contrast to Gul Z et al and Thatipamula MK et al showed majority plagues were located in left carotid bulb 25.8% 27 .…”

Objective To determine the frequency of carotid plaques on Doppler USG and associated presenting symptoms at Tertiary Care Centre, Lahore Methods A cross-sectional study of 366 individuals was conducted from January 2020 to November 2020 at the Radiology Department of Shiekh Zayed Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. A consultant radiologist scanned both sides of extra-cranial carotid artery tree. The DUS of carotid arteries was done with a GE Voluson Expert 730 Doppler ultrasound machine, using a linear probe with transducer frequency of 6-12.5MHz. Results A total of 366 patients underwent bilateral carotid Doppler ultrasound examinations. Our findings showed carotid plagues in 156 (42.62%) patients and majority were males 105(67.53). Mean age recorded was 61.17 ± 9.54 years and mean body mass index was 25.43 ± 3.40 Kg/m2. Highest number of plaques were noted in the left carotid artery 64 (41.03%), main location was common carotid artery 88 (56.41%) and majority were homogenous plagues 88 (56.41%).Majority patients presented with headache 177 (48.36%). Associated comorbidities were diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia. Conclusion The accuracy of diagnosing Carotid artery plagues has greatly increased over time due to radiological innovation. Carotid doppler ultrasound is a cheap noninvasive modality to detect carotid artery plagues due to its sensitivity, precision, and reliability. Since there is a high frequency of carotid plagues noted in middle age male adults, appropriate screening with prophylactic management can save a lot of disease burden from a lower middle income class country.

“…8 This can lead to inflammation resulting in increased CCA-IMT and the buildup of plaque in the artery walls. 9 CCA-IMT tends to increase with age. 10 In fact, age is one of the most important factors associated with CCA-IMT, and it has been estimated that CCA-IMT increases by approximately 0.007 mm, per year of age.…”

Objective: The intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) can indicate cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease risk, which could aid in early disease identification and prevention. This study was designed to correlate carotid artery IMT with age, obesity, diabetes, and hypertension using sonography. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional cohort study included 300 individuals of all ages selected through convenient sampling at a university clinic in Lahore from November 2022 to February 2023. An Xario XG ultrasound equipment system (Toshiba, Tokyo, Japan) and a 7.5- to 10-MHz linear transducer was used to examine the patients. Results: The CCA-IMT was evaluated in 300 individuals (mean age 36.83 years). Significant statistical differences were observed between hypertensive/non-hypertensive and diabetic/non-diabetic individuals ( P < .05). CCA-IMT was positively correlated with age and higher in obese/overweight individuals. Conclusion: This large cohort study found a significant difference in CCA-IMT between hypertensive/diabetic and normal individuals. CCA-IMT was positively correlated with age and body mass index.
