Evaluation of the Femoral Artery IMT as a Risk Factor of Cardiovascular Disease

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2019
Purpose: The carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) is a risk factor for atherosclerosis that can predict the association of cardiovascular disease. Despite this, there have been few studies on the femoral artery IMT.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and stenting of carotid arteries: Early results [PDF]

Srpski Arhiv za Celokupno Lekarstvo, 2008
INTRODUCTION Treatment of carotid stenosis could be surgical: eversion endarterectomy, conventional endarterectomy and patch-plasty, resection with graft interposition and bypass procedure or, in the past few years, carotid artery angioplasty (PTA) with ...

Microbial risk factors of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: potential therapeutic options [PDF]

, 2008
Infection and inflammation may have a crucial role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. This hypothesis is supported by an increasing number of reports on the interaction between chronic infection, inflammation, and atherogenesis.

Prevalence of severe carotid artery stenosis and its association with echocardiographic parameters in maintenance hemodialysis patients

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2014
Objectives: We aimed to determine the prevalence of significant carotid stenosis in maintenance hemodialysis patients and to identify biochemical and echocardiographic predictors of significant carotid stenosis in those patients.

Diameter Reduction Determined Through Carotid Ultrasound Associated With Cardiovascular and All‐Cause Mortality: A Single‐Center Experience of 38 201 Consecutive Patients in Taiwan

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Few studies have evaluated the prognostic significance of diameter‐based carotid sonographic measurements for mortality. We investigated whether a reduction in diameter of different carotid anatomical segments is associated with cardiovascular

Diagnostic agreement between panoramic radiographs and color doppler images of carotid atheroma

Journal of Applied Oral Science, 2009
The aim of this study was to investigate the agreement between diagnoses of calcified atheroma seen on panoramic radiographs and color Doppler images. Our interest stems from the fact that panoramic images can show the presence of atheroma regardless of ...

Lack of Association of White Matter Lesions with Ipsilateral Carotid Artery Stenosis

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2012
Background: White matter lesions (WML) are commonly seen on brain MRI and are generally considered a marker of tissue damage from cerebral small vessel disease.
