The authors investigated the relationship between the progression of carotid atherosclerosis and the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD). The two-year follow-ups of extracranial carotid atherosclerosis in 50 patients with CAD were evaluated by B-mode high-resolution ultrasonography. The summed maximal thickness of carotid plaques increased by 3.2 to 10.1 mm (mean 1.06 mm, SD 2.42 mm). The extent of coronary atherosclerosis (ppp<0.005). Age, serum triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, pack-years of smoking, % smokers, % hypertensives, and % diabetics were not different between the two groups. It was concluded that the severity of CAD was one of the strong predictors for carotid disease progression in patients with CAD.
