Cyclic variation of the common carotid artery structure in relation to prior atherosclerotic burden and physical activity [PDF]
Background and aims: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for the most deaths of non-communicable diseases worldwide. It begins with structural and functional changes of the arterial system commonly known as the atherosclerotic process, starting ...

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

Carotid stiffness and physical activity in elderly : a short report of the SAPALDIA 3 cohort study [PDF]
Regular physical activity has been shown to reduce cardiovascular disease risk in the general population. While smaller studies in specified groups (highly trained versus untrained individuals) indicate a certain dose-dependent effect of physical ...

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

Predictive Value of Carotid Distensibility Coefficient for Cardiovascular Diseases and All-Cause Mortality: A Meta-Analysis. [PDF]
The aim of the present study is to determine the pooled predictive value of carotid distensibility coefficient (DC) for cardiovascular (CV) diseases and all-cause mortality.Arterial stiffness is associated with future CV events.

Occlusive Disease of the Carotid Arteries [PDF]
Within the last 10 years there has been increasing recognition of the frequency of spontaneous occlusions of the carotid arteries as a cause for neurologic deficit, and several reports of successful therapy instituted early in the disease have appeared.

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