Key result
Increased carotid intima-media thickness was independently associated with higher SYNTAX score (β = 0.34, P < 0.001), suggesting it could reflect complex coronary artery lesions.
Why the study?
Is increased carotid intima-media thickness associated with higher SYNTAX score in patients with confirmed coronary artery disease?

Increased carotid intima-media thickness is independently associated with higher SYNTAX scores, suggesting it may serve as a marker for more complex coronary artery lesions.
Korkmaz et al. (2011) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=360). Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was evaluated on Overall SYNTAX score (SXscore) (β = 0.34, p=<0.001). Increased carotid intima-media thickness was independently associated with higher SYNTAX score (β = 0.34, P < 0.001), suggesting it could reflect complex coronary artery lesions.
