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 ...

Intima‐media Thickness of Carotid Arteries in Borderline Hypertensives

Journal of Neuroimaging, 1999
The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease on the process of subclinical atherosclerosis in originally borderline hypertensives. The relation of far wall common carotid artery intima‐media thickness (IMT CCA) measured by B‐mode ultrasound to smoking, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure ...

An update on carotid ultrasound measurement of intima-media thickness

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2002
Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic, multifactorial disease process. Some individuals with atherosclerosis receive treatment in the form of mechanical or pharmacologic interventions after an acute event has occurred. Others receive treatment in the form of risk factor-based systemic intervention, the effectiveness of which is assessed by its ability ...

Automated Measurement of Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness

2011
Atherosclerosis is a degenerative process that, during years, leads to the accumulation of lipids and other blood-borne materials into the arterial walls.1 The most important consequences correlated to the progression of atherosclerosis are: (1) the narrowing of the artery lumen, (2) the thickening of the wall, (3) the loss of elasticity, and (4) the ...
