摘要
The authors present a new strategy for cardiovascular disease prevention based on risk factor detection in occupational medicine and silent atherosclerosis detection in a specialized investigation centre. Employees from several firms in the Paris region were searched, in their working place, for cardiovascular risk factors, including blood cholesterol measurement. The subjects at risk thus selected underwent non-invasive explorations aimed at an early detection of silent atherosclerosis. Extracoronary plaques in the carotid, aorta and femoral arteries were detected by high-resolution ultrasonography, and coronary calcifications by ultrafast CT. The prevalence of arterial lesions and their relationship with risk factors were analysed in a subgroup of 208 untreated male subjects with high blood cholesterol level: 74 percent of these subjects had extracoronary plaques and 65 percent had coronary calcifications. This high prevalence of silent arterial lesions suggested that hypercholesterolaemia, even when moderate, has an early but inconsistent atherogenic effect. Moreover, extracoronary plaques and coronary calcifications were related to risk factors other than blood lipids, and among these factors age was predominant. The simultaneous detection of extracoronary and coronary lesions has demonstrated that extracoronary ultrasonography of several arteries is a good diagnostic test predicting the presence of coronary calcifications in the absence of coronary symptoms. Detection of silent atherosclerosis in subjects at risk therefore is an original and helpful complement to risk factor detection. It should better refine and individualize the diagnosis of risk and evaluate the effects of preventive cardiovascular treatments on atherosclerosis.
