    Objectives: Patients affected by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) are at increased risk of atherothrombotic events compared with the general populatio.


    Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis ( EGPA ) vascular atherosclerosis atherothrombotic (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) subclinical markers

    Methods: Forty EGPA patients and 80 controls (matched for age, sex, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors) underwent ultrasound assessment of common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT.


    Correlation between CCA-IMT and clinical and laboratory features in common carotid artery (CCA) intima-media thickness (IMT) ultrasound assessment

    Results: The median CCA-IMT of EGPA patients was significantly higher than that of controls ( p = 00


    p significantly higher p

    No significant correlations were found between CCA-IMT, ANCA status, other clinical features, and treatment regimens


    No significant correlations were found between CCA-IMT, ANCA status, other clinical features, and treatment regimens were comparable

    Conclusions: Ultrasound markers of subclinical atherosclerosis were increased in patients with EGPA compared with controls , independent of traditional cardiovascular risk facto.


    Ultrasound markers of subclinical atherosclerosis increased in EGPA patients, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors Ultrasound markers of subclinical atherosclerosis increased in EGPA patients, independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors
