Conclusion

There were differences in the associations between risk factors and progression rate in different arterial segments. Favourable changes in SBP and lipids during the follow-up period were associated with reduced IMT progression rates in the CCA.

Conclusions

Our results suggest that IL-5 may be part of protective mechanisms operating in early atherosclerosis, at least in women. However, the relationships are weak and whereas IL-5 has been proposed as a potential molecular target to treat allergies, it is difficult to envisage such a scenario in coronary artery disease.

3D echo might provide more accurate information on LV geometry and mass49 and also on left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) morphology, specifically in the assessment of the aorto-septal angle, a marker of inducible left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO).50 However, 3D echo is still underutilized in HCM and its incremental value remains largely unknown
