Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

Genetics of Ultrasonographic Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2004
The search for genes related to the cause of common complex disorders such as cardiovascular disease has been frustrating, partly because of the many factors known to contribute to cardiovascular disease and the potential “distance” of cardiovascular disease as a phenotype from genes and gene products.

Sex-specific association between carotid atherosclerosis and fundus arteriosclerosis in a Chinese population: a retrospective cross-sectional study

European Journal of Medical Research, 2023
Objectives Vascular stiffening is highly predictive of major adverse cardiovascular events. It is not clear whether microangiopathy, such as fundus arteriosclerosis, is related to carotid atherosclerosis. Hence, this study was designed to investigate the

Ultrasound IMT measurement on a multi-ethnic and multi-institutional database: Our review and experience using four fully automated and one semi-automated methods [PDF]

, 2012
Automated and high performance carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement is gaining increasing importance in clinical practice to assess the cardiovascular risk of patients. In this paper, we compare four fully automated IMT measurement techniques

Subclinical Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Function: A Mini-Review

Frontiers in Neurology, 2021
Carotid artery atherosclerosis, the result of a multitude of vascular risk factors, is a promising marker for use in risk stratification. Recent evidence suggests that carotid artery atherosclerosis affects cognitive function and is an independent risk ...

Dietary Intervention to Reverse Carotid Atherosclerosis [PDF]

Circulation, 2010
Background— It is currently unknown whether dietary weight loss interventions can induce regression of carotid atherosclerosis. Methods and Results— In a 2-year Dietary Intervention Randomized Controlled Trial–Carotid (DIRECT ...

Carotid atherosclerosis in renal transplant recipients [PDF]

Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 1998
Cardiovascular accidents are the major cause of morbidity and mortality in renal transplant recipients. However, there is little information concerning carotid atherosclerotic wall changes in renal transplant recipients, their relationship with cardiovascular accidents and their possible association with cardiovascular risk factors in such patients ...

Linking cardiorespiratory fitness classification criteria to early subclinical atherosclerosis in children [PDF]

, 2014
It is unclear if cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) can be used as a screening tool for premature changes in carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in paediatric populations.
