Abstract

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is a dangerous internal emergency requiring early diagnosis and treatment. The result in Communities Study in the United States showed that an increase in carotid intima-media thickness of 0.19 mm increased the risk of coronary artery disease by 69% in women and 36% in men. Objectives: 1). To survey the ratio of external carotid artery lesion; 2). To find out some related factors to external carotid artery lesion in acute coronary syndrome patients at Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital in 2020 - 2021. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study with analysis was conducted on 163 ACS patients at Cardiology Department in Hoan My Cuu Long General Hospital.  Results: There were 47.2% male, 52.8% female, mean age: 68.60 ± 11.31 years. The ratio of acute coronary syndrome patient having an external carotid artery lesion was 64.4%. External carotid artery lesion associate with sex, body mass index, smoking, hypertension, elevated LDL-c and coronary artery lesion (p<0.05). Conclusion: External carotid artery lesion associate with coronary artery lesion in acute coronary syndrome patient.
