Abstract
The objective is to comparative study of C-F PWV and CIMT in smokers and non-smokers. Study comprised of 200 subjects, out of these, 100 were smokers and 100 were non-smokers. Both C-F PWV and CIMT increased in smokers with advancing age as compared with non-smokers. Increase in carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (C-F PWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) indicate the risk of atherosclerosis in smokers as compared with non-smokers and was statistically significant.
