Sažetak
Background: Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a validated clinical tool for identifying subclinical ateroschlerotic changes and determining patient’s vascular age (1). CIMT is associated with cardiovascular disease and is an independent predictor of stroke and myocardial infarction (2). We are presenting results of a study including obese patients currently in a weight reduction program under medical supervision. Material and Methods: We conducted a prospective research comparing initial CIMT, Montreal Cognitive Assesment (MoCA) score, weight and body mass index (BMI) with the ones measured after a six month period. The total number of patients was 19 (8 male, 11 female) with a median age of 50 (21-78) years. CIMT was measured according to Mannheim protocol. Results: At initial assessment median weight of our patients was 125.6 (78.9–202) kg and BMI 46.7 (30–66) kg/m2 with MoCA score of 27. Median CIMT values were as following: left CCA 0.65 mm, left CB 0.64 mm, right CCA 0.54 mm and right CB 0.68 mm. After a six month follow up median weight reduction was 0.4 kg with no BMI changes and median MoCA score of 25. Median CIMT values were: left CCA 0.60 mm, left CB 0.55 mm, right CCA 0.57 mm and right CB 0.65 mm. Conclusion: Although the follow up time period was relatively short, and the values measured did not reach statistical significance, there is a clear tendency of CIMT reduction in concordance to weight decrease. An interesting observation is lower MoCA score after 6 months. Both results prompt for a larger and longer study
