| Abstract: | Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in developed and developing world .The important predisposing factor to coronary artery disease is atherosclerosis of coronary arteries. Carotid artery intima media thickness (IMT) can be used as a measure of generalized atherosclerosis. Ultrasound B mode serves as a simple ,safe, cost effective and noninvasive method for measuring carotid artery intima media thickness, hence this study was undertaken to evaluate association of carotid IMT in prediction of CAD in local population. |
