Why the study?
Are carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and Periscope markers associated with coronary artery disease, risk factors, and biomarkers in Asian Indians?

Should not yet change practice in Asian Indians; leaves open whether CIMT or Periscope markers add prognostic value beyond standard risks.
Association of Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Periscope Markers with Coronary Artery Disease, Risk factors and Biomarkers in Asian Indians Surrogate sub clinical markers provide an important dimension to cardiovascular risk stratification. We studied the association of carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and Periscope markers with CAD, classical risk factors and cardiac biomarkers in a cohort of 125 CAD patients with strong family history of cardiovascular disease and 585 unaffected family members selected from the Indian Atherosclerosis Research Study.
