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.

Ischemic cardiopathy and other heart disorders: differences in risk of cerebrovascular disease and in its association with carotid obstruction.

A series of 1003 patients examined by cervical Doppler is reviewed, stressing differences between ischemic cardiopathies and other heart diseases as to the risk of carotid cerebrovascular disease (CVD) and its pathogenesis. The authors find that in ischemic heart disease the risk of stroke is almost entirely linked to severe carotid obstruction; in other cardiac disorders (rheumatic valvulopathies, arrhythmias etc.) this risk is independent from arterial damage, and the risk subsequent to an associated carotid stenosis does not differ from that of the general population.
