Carotid Intima-Media Thickness for Atherosclerosis

Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2016
The carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is a widely used surrogate marker for atherosclerosis worldwide. The carotid IMT can be simply, noninvasively, and reproducibly measured through B-mode carotid ultrasound. The carotid IMT is also a strong predictor of future cerebral and cardiovascular events. In addition, regressions of increased carotid IMT by

Automating Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Video Interpretation with Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]

Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2017
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality yet largely preventable, but the key to prevention is to identify at-risk individuals before adverse events.

Impact of Intima–Media Thickness Progression in the Common Carotid Arteries on the Risk of Incident Cardiovascular Disease in the Suita Study [PDF]

Journal of the American Heart Association : Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
Background No prospective study of the relationship between intima–media thickness (IMT) progression and incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) has been performed. Methods and Results We studied 4724 participants (mean age: 59.7±11.9 years; without CVD at

Evaluation of Intima-Media Thickness and Arterial Stiffness as Early Ultrasound Biomarkers of Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis

Cardiology and Therapy, 2022
Carotid atherosclerosis is a major and potentially preventable cause of ischemic stroke. It begins early in life and progresses silently over the years. Identification of individuals with subclinical atherosclerosis is needed to initiate early aggressive

Triglyceride-glucose index and common carotid artery intima-media thickness in patients with ischemic stroke

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2022
Background Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index was recently reported to be associated with an increased risk of the development and recurrence of cardiovascular events, and atherosclerosis is a main speculative mechanism.

Association between Non-HDL-C/HDL-C Ratio and Carotid Intima–Media Thickness in Post-Menopausal Women

Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021
Atherogenic lipoproteins (particularly, very low-density lipoproteins, VLDL) are associated with subclinical atherosclerosis. The present study aims at evaluating whether routinely analysed lipid parameters are associated with carotid intima–media ...

Meta-analysis of the correlation between serum uric acid level and carotid intima-media thickness

PLoS ONE, 2021
Objective Recently, increasing epidemiological evidence has shown that there is a correlation between serum uric acid level (SUA) and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT). This paper explored the relationship between them through meta-analysis.

Carotid stiffness, intima–media thickness and aortic augmentation index among adults with SARS‐CoV‐2

Experimental Physiology, 2021
What is the central question of this study? We sought to investigate whether carotid stiffness, carotid intima–media thickness and the aortic augmentation index are altered in young adults 3–4 weeks after contraction of severe acute respiratory syndrome ...

Role of carotid ultrasound in the evaluation of atherosclerotic changes in beta thalassemia major patients

Medical Journal of Babylon, 2022
Background: Iron overload in beta thalassemia patients may lead to the alteration of arterial structures together with hyperlipidemia and other risk factors that may lead to the atherosclerotic changes and thickening of carotid arteries.
