AB  - BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Although risk factors for acute coronary syndrome (ACS) 
      and atherothrombotic cerebral infarction (ACI) are common, it is unknown if the 
      risk factors for these two conditions are similar. The purpose of our study was 
      to elucidate differences in carotid artery atherosclerotic features between ACS 
      and ACI. METHODS: We measured carotid artery ultrasound-based atherosclerotic 
      parameters in 61 ACS and 33 ACI patients. In the ACS patients, 31 had 
      single-vessel coronary artery disease (SVD) and 30 had multivessel coronary 
      artery disease (MVD). RESULTS: The maximum intima-media thickness (IMT) of the 
      common carotid artery was higher in ACS patients with MVD than in ACS patients 
      with SVD (P < 0.05), and tended to be higher than that in ACI patients 
      (P = 0.085). The values in ACS patients with SVD and ACI patients were similar. 
      The maximum IMT of the carotid artery bulb in ACS patients with MVD was similar 
      to that in both ACS patients with SVD and ACI patients. The plaque score was 
      higher in ACS patients with MVD than in ACS patients with SVD (P < 0.01), but 
      similar to that in ACI patients. CONCLUSION: ACS and ACI show common 
      atherosclerotic features as assessed by carotid artery ultrasonography.
