Flow Mediated Dilatation Carotid Intima Media Thickness Ankle Brachial Pressure Index and Pulse Pressure in Young Male Post Myocardial Infarction Patients in India

摘要

IntroductionDue to increase in Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) at a younger age, we should try to diagnose atherosclerotic process and population at risk, at the earliest. Flow Mediated Dilatation (FMD), Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) and Ankle-Brachial Pressure Index (ABI) are probable markers for early atherosclerosis and may be useful in coronary risk stratification.
