Ischemic cardiopathy and other heart diseases: differences in carotid atheromas examined by duplex scanner.
Differences of frequency and morphology of carotid plaques are studied in 39 patients with ischemic cardiopathy matched for sex and age with 39 patients with various cardiopathies and 78 controls without heart diseases. Ischemic patients have more plaques, and these are more extended along the vessels. The plaques of the other cardiopathies reach greater thickness and degree of stenosis.
