Abstract

Background: SCUBA DIVERs work in high pressure conditions which may cause some changes in physiological status to adapt to this situation. In this study, the carotid INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS (CIMT) was assessed in divers as a risk factor of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders.Methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 16 male professional SCUBA DIVERs as case group and 30 healthy people as controls with age range of 26-66 years. CIMT of both carotids of supine participants was measured by a 10 MHz linear ultrasonic probe quantitatively. Relationship between experience of diving and carotid IMT was evaluated.Results: All the participants were males (mean age 42.9±10.58. and for the control group was (47.05±12.31 years). The mean right CIMT in divers and control group was 524.31±149.40 and 443.66±59.62 micrometer, respectively. Furthermore, the mean left CIMT in divers and control group was 624.57±116.15 and 458.44±49.56 micrometer, respectively.Conclusion: The findings demonstrated that long-term occupational diving leads to increased INTIMA-MEDIA THICKNESS in SCUBA DIVERs.
