Thickness of carotid intima and epicardial fat in rosacea: a cross-sectional study [PDF]
Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2017 : Background: Rosacea is a chronic facial skin disease associated with excessive inflammatory response to various triggers. Although some studies have supported the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases in rosacea, it has not been completely ...

Ultra-high frequency ultrasound delineated changes in carotid and muscular artery intima-media and adventitia thickness in obese early middle-aged women [PDF]
, 2022 Obesity is linked to increased arterial size, carotid intima-media thickness and arterial stiffness. The effects of obesity and body composition on muscular artery intima-media and adventitia thickness has previously not been established. The aim of this

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes [PDF]
Asian Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015 Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) is currently used to assess the relationship between progression of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis. To date, however, the possible impact of regular physical activity (PA) on this parameter has not been well estimated.Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk ...

Segmentation of common and internal carotid arteries from 3D ultrasound images using adaptive triple U-Net [PDF]
, 2021 Objective: Vessel-wall-volume (VWV) and localized vessel-wall-thickness (VWT) measured from 3D ultrasound (US) carotid images are sensitive to anti-atherosclerotic effects of medical/dietary treatments. VWV and VWT measurements require the lumen-intima (LIB) and media-adventitia boundaries (MAB) at the common and internal carotid arteries (CCA and ICA).

Vascular diameter and intima-media thickness to diameter ratio values of the carotid artery in 642 healthy children [PDF]
, 2020 In children, arterial alterations occur with increased intima-media thickness as well as vascular diameter enlargement. Both conditions correlate with higher cardiovascular risk in adults, and both the array and proportion of these alterations are ...
