Extract
Introduction: The prevalence of atherosclerosis varies within individual countries. The highest incidence of atherosclerosis in Europe, North America, while in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the atherosclerosis occurs much less frequently.
Goal. Stratification of atherosclerosis of the main arteries of the head, as a risk factor for acute myocardial infarction.
Materials and methods: The study included 71 patients with acute coronary syndrome, 47 men and 24 women aged from 40 to 70 years. All patients underwent ultrasound examination of the main vessels of the head and neck on the machine expert class.
Results: The average age of patients with acute coronary syndrome was 57±8,44 patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction, 27 – unstable angina. 9 cases of death. In the study of brachycephalic vessels of the trunk showed signs of atherosclerosis - the thickening and impaired differentiation of the intima of the vascular wall, stenotic lesions (expressed in percentages). The thickness intima-media of the brachycephalic artery 0,98±0,14, stenosis was 7.1±11,4. Lesions of the internal carotid arteries: the right thickness intima-media brachycephalic artery 0,88±0,17, stenosis 21,05±15,12. Accordingly, the left - thickness intima-media - 0,88±0,48, stenosis 20,07±17,45.
