Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) Measurements: Ultrasonography will assess CIMT, reported in millimeters (mm) compared to treatment arm and Standard of Care. 2.Change in Plaque Volume: Carotid Doppler will be employed to measure plaque volume, reported in cubic millimeters (mm ). 3.Change in Maximal Luminal Stenosis: The maximal luminal stenosis, expressed as a percentage, will be assessed to determine the degree of coronary artery narrowing using Carotid doppler. 4.Change in Peak Systolic Velocity: UltrasonographyTimepoint: 0 and 6 Months (Pre and Post Intervention)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Change in lipid profile such as LDL-C, HDL-C, and Triglyceride Levels 2.Change in High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) levels 3.Change in Calcium score levelsTimepoint: 0 and 6 Months (Pre and Post Intervention)
