Özet
Background and aim: this study aimed to compare carotid
intima media (CIMT) and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT)
measurements, which are considered as markers for the
detection of early atherosclerosis in healthy controls and
inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) cases.
Methods: a total of 60 IBD patients (25 Crohn’s disease and
35 ulcerative colitis) and 60 healthy patients (as a control
group) were included in the study. The measurements of
CIMT and EAT were performed using echocardiography
and ultrasonography, respectively. Statistical analysis was
used to determine the relationship between the parameters.
Results: the thickness of bilateral (right and left) CIMT and
EAT were significantly higher in IBD than in the control
group (p < 0.05). There was a positive correlation between
EAT and bilateral (right and left) CIMT in IBD patients
(p < 0.05).
Conclusion: IBD is associated with an increased thickness of
EAT and CIMT. Chronic inflammation in IBD may increase
the risk of atherosclerotic heart disease. Thus, only measur ing the thickness of EAT and CIMT can be used as an objec tive, easy, simple, affordable, non-invasive and accessible
assessment method in order to screen for this risk
