Abstract

Background: Considering the importance of vascular age in the risk assessment of cardiovascular events and the presence of different methods for its estimation, this study aims to evaluate and compare vascular age according to coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) and carotid ultrasonography.

Methods: This study was conducted in Isfahan on patients who underwent CACS and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) assessments within 30 days. In patients who were candidates for CACS, calcium score was measured, then they were invited for carotid ultrasonography, and CIMT was measured. Vascular age was estimated based on these methods using available formulas.

Results: In this study, 115 patients were enrolled. (Male 52.2%, female 47.8%). The mean chronological age was 59.08 ± 14.90 years old. The mean calcium score (CS) of patients was 48.23 ± 63.34. Mean CIMT was 0.73 ± 0.15 mm. The mean vascular age derived by CS and CIMT was 58.64 ± 12.63 and 53.99 ± 17.53 years, respectively. The vascular age obtained by CS was directly related to vascular age based on CIMT (P-value < 0.05).

Conclusion: Calcium score is as helpful as CIMT for vascular age estimation.

基于冠状动脉钙负荷和颈动脉内膜中层厚度的血管年龄(一项比较研究)。

背景:考虑到血管年龄在心血管事件风险评估中的重要性，且存在不同的评估方法，本研究旨在根据冠状动脉钙评分(CACS)和颈动脉超声对血管年龄进行评价和比较。方法:本研究在伊斯法罕对30天内接受CACS和颈动脉内膜-中膜厚度(CIMT)评估的患者进行。在CACS候选患者中，测量钙评分，然后邀请他们进行颈动脉超声检查，测量CIMT。血管年龄是在这些方法的基础上使用现有的公式来估计的。结果:本研究纳入115例患者。男性52.2%，女性47.8%。平均实足年龄59.08±14.90岁。患者的平均钙评分(CS)为48.23±63.34。平均CIMT为0.73±0.15 mm。CS和CIMT的平均血管年龄分别为58.64±12.63岁和53.99±17.53岁。CS获得的血管年龄与基于CIMT的血管年龄直接相关(p值< 0.05)。结论:钙评分与CIMT一样有助于血管年龄的估计。
