Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the relationship between intima-media thickness (IMT) and cardiovascular events, utilizing vascular Doppler ultrasonography as a diagnostic tool.
- - Conducted over six months with 102 patients, results revealed that 89.2% had elevated IMT (≥ 0.8 mm), with diabetes and hypertension being significant risk factors linked to this increase.
- - The findings suggest that heightened IMT is a crucial indicator of cardiovascular risk, advocating for its routine assessment in future research.
The prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the general population has been poorly studied in developing countries. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in a population group in Senegal (the imams). We conducted a cross-sectional and descriptive observational study from April 18 to May 2, 2015.
