The aim of our study was to investigate the carotid WSS directly by doppler and BV parameters in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients.
Methods: Consecutive 143 patients who were diagnosed as ACS were enrolled (65.48±10.94 years, 110 males). Low-shear BV (diastolic BV) and high-shear BV (systolic BV) were measured at shear rates of 1 and 300 s-1, by a scanning capillary tube viscometer (Bio-Visco Inc., South Korea) at both admission and one month later. Doppler parameters for lumen diameter andc velocity of common carotid arteries (CCA) were measured and WSS were calculated by formula. Results: The mean maximal-CCA [Right CCA: left CCA (mm) = 6.95±0.95: 6.59±1.09] and mean minimal-CCA diameter [Right CCA: left CCA (mm) = 6.57±0.93: 6.21±1.03] were measured. The whole BV decreased significantly at one month later (systolic BV; 44.34±7.60 vs 42.03±5.75 mP, p=0.007, diastolic BV; 296.20±75.48 vs 277.13±65.21 mP, p=0.028). The WSS were also significantly decreased during one month clinical follow up in both CCA at systole (table). Conclusion: We could directly measure the carotid WSS. The carotid WSS was decreased significantly after one month medical treatment. Future larger studies are needed to clarify our results. Wall shear stress
