Background: Children born to parents with ischemic heart disease (IHD) can have dyslipidemia, a marker for IHD, detectable in early childhood and track to adulthood. Dyslipidemia along with factors like BMI, diet, sedentary activity increases risk of child developing IHD in adulthood. Early detection with non-invasive methods such as B mode ultrasound to measure carotid artery and abdominal aorta intima-media thickness can help in modification of these risk factors by suitable interventional strategies. The objectives of this study was to study the lipid profile and carotid artery and abdominal aorta intima-media thickness among children in the age group 5-18 years born to parents with history of premature IHD.Methods: 23 children of parents with premature IHD and aged matched 28 controls without any family history of IHD were analyzed for cardiovascular risk factors: lipid profile and carotid and abdominal aorta intima-media thickness. The carotid intima-media thickness and abdominal aorta intima-media thickness was found by using B mode ultrasound.Results: Mean abdominal aorta intima-media thickness was significantly higher among children with parental history of premature IHD than in those without it. Abdominal aorta intima-media thickness also showed significant positive correlation with total cholesterol. Carotid intima-media thickness showed positive correlation with the waist circumference. Mean total cholesterol levels (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides (TG) were higher in children with family history as compared to children without family history but it was not statistically significant.Conclusions: Abdominal aortic IMT is significantly more among children with parental history of premature ischemic heart disease compared to children without parental history of premature ischemic heart disease. Abdominal aortic intima-media thickness has significant association with total cholesterol while carotid intima-media thickness is significantly associated with waist circumference.

Background: Intima-media thickness (IMT) as measured on ultrasound images of the common carotid artery (CCA) is associated with cardiovascular events and used to measure the effects of lipid lowering interventions. Far wall CCA IMT is favored over near wall IMT based on the physics of ultrasound. Materials and Methods: We studied 6606 members of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a longitudinal cohort study (mean age 62.1 years; 52.7% female) who had near wall and far wall CCA IMT measurements. Multivariable linear regression models were used to estimate model goodness-of-fit of near wall IMT, far wall IMT, and mean IMT with Framingham risk factors (FRF). Multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate hazard ratios for incident coronary heart disease (CHD) events for each IMT variable. Change in Harrell’s C-statistic was used to compare the incremental value of each IMT variable when added to FRF. Results: Mean IMT had the strongest association with risk factors (R2 = 0.31), followed by the near wall (R2 = 0.26) and far wall IMT (R2 = 0.22). Far wall IMT improved the prediction of coronary artery disease events (change in C statistic: 0.009; 95% Confidence Intervals: 0.004, 0.015; p= 0.001) as did mean IMT (p=0.033) but near wall IMT did not. Conclusion: Far wall CCA IMT had the strongest association with incident CHD whereas combined near wall and far wall IMT had the strongest association with risk factors. Selected IMT variables may give different results in intervention trials than in outcome studies.

Background: Ischemic Heart Disease which encompasses Acute Coronary Syndrome and Chronic Stable Angina is the most common cause of worldwide mortality and morbidity. Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) is a non-invasive ultrasonographic technique to image the carotid arteries which measures the thickness of the intima and media of these vessels. It is a marker of atherosclerotic process. Flow mediated dilatation (FMD) is a marker of endothelial function of arteries. Ischemic heart disease can be predicted long before its actual occurrence by observing these two phenomenons. Methods: This cross sectional study done in the Department of Cardiology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital during the period of Oct 2010- Sept 2011.We enrolled 102 patients admitted with IHD by purposive sampling. We assessed FMD of brachial artery, CIMT by vascular duplex. Coronary artery disease severity was assessed by vessel score, stenosis score and extent score from angiography. Results:The mean (±SD) age of the patients was 50.9(±11.3) years. The male- female ratio was 5:1. CIMT has significant negative correlation with FMD (r=-.407, p=<.001). Flow mediated dilatation of brachial artery has weak but significant negative co-relation with vessel score(r=-.609, p=<.001), stenosis score(r=- .493, p=<.001) and extent score (r=-.477, p=<.001). However, carotid intima media thickness has weak but positive correlation with vessel score (r=.447, p=<.001), stenosis score (r=.417, p=<.001) and extent score(r=.412, p=<.001). Conclusion: The present study concludes CIMT has significant negative correlation with flow mediated dilatation of brachial artery. FMD has weak but significant negative co-relation and CIMT has weak but positive correlation with vessel score, stenosis score and extent score of coronary arteries.
