TABLE 2.
Carotid diameters and intima–media thickness
| Control | SARS‐CoV‐2 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parameter | (5 male, 10 female) | (6 male, 9 female) | P‐value | Hedge's g |
| Mean diameter (mm) | 6.48 ± 0.49 | 6.78 ± 0.57 | 0.13 | −0.55 |
| Diastolic diameter (mm) | 6.31 ± 0.53 | 6.46 ± 0.55 | 0.45 | −0.27 |
| Systolic diameter (mm) | 6.64 ± 0.57 | 7.07 ± 0.59 | <0.05 | −0.73 |
| cIMT (mm) | 0.42 ± 0.06 | 0.44 ± 0.08 | 0.59 | −0.19 |
Data are the mean ± SD. Student's two‐tailed t‐tests for two samples of equal variance were performed between the control and SARS‐CoV‐2 groups. Abbreviations: cIMT, carotid intima–media thickness; SARS‐CoV‐2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.
