Carotid intima-media thickness for the practicing lipidologist

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2010
It is well known that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and in many parts of the developed world. However, early detection of atherosclerosis remains a challenging area of research and development. Stress echo and myocardial perfusion studies were not designed to be screening tests and the majority of

Snoring and carotid artery intima‐media thickness

The Laryngoscope, 2014
Objectives/HypothesisA growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep‐disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the ...

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness

Ultrasound Quarterly, 2009
Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements are now recognized as a surrogate measure of atherosclerosis. The measurement is performed on high-resolution ultrasound images of the carotid artery at the level of the carotid bifurcation. Increased IMT values indicate a higher likelihood of having had a stroke or myocardial infarction.

Carotid intima-media thickness

The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1999
With B-mode ultrasound measurements of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arterial wall (asymptomatic) atherosclerosis can be detected. In this article several studies are reviewed in which IMT was used as a surrogate endpoint to assess effects of lipid-lowering or antihypertensive drugs on peripheral atherosclerosis, and the clinical ...

The influence of obesity on the assessment of carotid intima‐media thickness

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 2012
AbstractBackground.The assessment of carotid intima‐media thickness (CIMT) may improve cardiovascular risk prediction. The optimal protocol for CIMT measurement is unclear. CIMT may be measured in the common carotid artery (CCA), carotid bifurcation (CB), and internal carotid artery (ICA), but measurements from CB and ICA are more difficult to obtain ...

Questioning the Predictive Role of Carotid intima–media Thickness

Future Cardiology, 2011
Interest in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), as a tool to evaluate cardiovascular risk has been driven by studies that demonstrate a relationship between carotid IMT and the incidence of cardiovascular events. However, no study was designed and powered to demonstrate a relationship between changes in carotid IMT during follow-up and cardiovascular

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Diabetics and Hypertensive Patients

Revista Española de Cardiología (English Edition), 2011
The aims of this study are to describe the mean values of carotid intima-media thickness and how it increases with age, and to compare carotid injury in diabetics and hypertensive patients with that of controls. We included 562 subjects (121 diabetics, 352 hypertensive patients, 89 controls). The mean intima-media thickness was 0.781 mm in diabetics, 0.

Carotid intima-media thickness and serum leptin in psoriasis

Herz, 2011
Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory immune disorder, has been linked to increased cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Leptin, an obesity-related peptide, has been shown to exert direct effects on the vascular endothelium and on vascular smooth muscle cells.
