Conditions

  • FMF

Interventions

RADIATION

ultrasound on carotid

CIT will be assessed using ultrasound evaluation by measuring the intima-media thickness of carotid arteries (IMT). This non-invasive method is used to detect subclinical atherosclerosis and it can be used in a multitude of patients including children\[11\]. It will be carried out on the two study groups (FMF patients and the control group) and the results will be compared.
