Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]
, 2011 Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Bilateral common carotid artery aneurysms [PDF]
Vascular Medicine, 2006 Tracheal deviation was incidentally discovered on a chest X-ray of a 40-year-old man (Panel A). He had no focal complaints and the examination of his neck was unremarkable. However, a CT-scan revealed aneurysmal dilation of the proximal portion of both common carotid arteries (CCA) compressing the trachea (Panel B; R CCA/ L CCA, right/left common ...

Femoral artery ultrasound examination: a new role in predicting cardiovascular risk [PDF]
, 2017 We compared intima-media thickness (IMT) and the prevalence of plaques in the common carotid artery (CCA) and common femoral artery (CFA) in apparently healthy participants. This multicenter study included 322 participants (59.9% female; age 20-78 years,

Menopausal Status and Distensibility of the Common Carotid Artery [PDF]
Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 1999 Abstract —Although several studies have shown that exogenous estrogens have beneficial effects on arterial characteristics, the effect of endogenous estrogen on the vascular system is still unknown. In this study, distensibility, an indicator of arterial elasticity, of the common carotid artery was compared in pre- and ...

Predictive haemodynamics in a one-dimensional human carotid artery bifurcation. Part II: application to graft design [PDF]
, 2008 A Bayesian surrogate modelling technique is proposed that may be able to predict an optimal bypass graft configuration for patients suffering with stenosis in the internal carotid artery (ICA). At the outset, this statistical technique is considered as a
