COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CAROTID-FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AND CAROTID INTIMA -MEDIA THICKNESS WITH AGE & GENDER IN CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (CVA) PATIENTS AND HEALTHY CONTROL INDIVIDUAL
COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CAROTID-FEMORAL PULSE WAVE VELOCITY AND CAROTID INTIMA -MEDIA THICKNESS WITH AGE & GENDER IN CEREBROVASCULAR ACCIDENT (CVA) PATIENTS AND HEALTHY CONTROL INDIVIDUAL
The objective is to compare the carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity and carotid intima -media thickness with age & gender in Cerebro Vascular Accident patients and healthy control individuals. Both C-F PWV and CIMT were higher in CVA patients as compare to healthy control and more in males as compared to females in both groups and were statistically significant. Increase in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (C-F PWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in CVA patients indicate the risk of atherosclerosis with increasing age and in male gender as compared to females.
