Carotid intima-media Thickness and Cardiovascular Risk

Future Cardiology, 2011
Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in most developed nations. Identifying an individual's cardiovascular risk remains a challenge. Traditional coronary-risk stratification is based on cardiovascular risk factors using risk score systems, which may not reliably identify atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individuals.

Carotid intima‐media thickness in Parkinson's disease

Movement Disorders, 2007
AbstractThere have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis.

Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio and its relation with pro‐inflammatory mediators, visceral adiposity and carotid intima‐media thickness in population with obesity

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2019
Atherosclerosis represents a cardiovascular risk. Chronic inflammation is a key factor for atherogenic progression. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular risks.

Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Beyond

Current Drug Target -Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders, 2004
Atherosclerosis evolves from the vascular wall. The initial build-up starts at the inner layers of the intima media complex of the artery. To track these phases of the beginning of disease requires a technique that can reliably detect and follow the extent and severity non-invasively over time.

Carotid intima-media thickness testing: technical considerations

Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2004
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) refers to the combined thickness of the intimal and medial layers of the carotid arterial wall. High-resolution (7.5 MHz) B-mode ultrasound permits visualization of the blood-intima and media-adventitia boundaries in the carotid arteries, allowing CIMT to be measured.

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.

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

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 ...

Intima-Media Thickness of Carotid Arteries

2014
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a validated predictive marker of increased plaque occurrence and the incidence of major cardiovascular events. However, due to technical issues associated with the measurement of CIMT, a well-trained and certified sonographer is needed to overcome causes of variability due to the patient, device, sonographer ...

Relationship between leukoaraiosis, carotid intima-media thickness and intima-media thickness variability: Preliminary results

European Radiology, 2016
To assess the relationship between the degree of leukoaraiosis (LA), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and intima-media thickness variability (IMTV).Sixty-one consecutive patients, who underwent a brain MRI examination and a carotid artery ultrasound, were included in this retrospective study, which conformed with the Declaration of Helsinki ...
