Carotid Intima-Media Thickness Progression in HIV-Infected Adults Occurs Preferentially at the Carotid Bifurcation and Is Predicted by Inflammation. [PDF]

, 2012
BackgroundShear stress gradients and inflammation have been causally associated with atherosclerosis development in carotid bifurcation regions. The mechanism underlying higher levels of carotid intima-media thickness observed among HIV-infected ...

Non-HDL Cholesterol Levels in Childhood and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Adulthood

Pediatrics, 2020
We examined if childhood non–HDL-C status predicts high common carotid artery IMT in adulthood. BACKGROUND: Elevated non–high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels are used to identify children at increased cardiovascular risk, but the use of ...

Relationship between carotid intima-media thickness, physical activity, sleep quality, metabolic/inflamatory profile, body fatness, smoking and alcohol consumption in young adults

Motriz: Revista de Educacao Fisica, 2017
AIM The aim of this longitudinal study was to analyze the relationship between sleep disorder and intima-media thickness. METHOD Baseline measurements included carotid intima-media thickness, assessed by an ultrasound device; questionnaires about sleep ...

Effects of Idiopathic Restless Leg Syndrome on Intima-media Thickness of Carotid Artery: A Case Control Study

Frontiers in Biomedical Technologies, 2023
Purpose: Restless legs syndrome is claimed to be associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases. Intima-media thickness has been reported to be the most valuable surrogate marker and predictor of atherosclerosis progression and upcoming ...

Area-preserving mapping of 3D ultrasound carotid artery images using density-equalizing reference map [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 67(9), 1507-1517 (2020), 2018
Carotid atherosclerosis is a focal disease at the bifurcations of the carotid artery. To quantitatively monitor the local changes in the vessel-wall-plus-plaque thickness (VWT) and compare the VWT distributions for different patients or for the same patients at different ultrasound scanning sessions, a mapping technique is required to adjust for the ...

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Incident ESRD: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study [PDF]

, 2016
Carotid intima-media thickness has been reported to predict kidney function decline. However, whether carotid intima-media thickness is associated with a hard kidney end point, ESRD, has not been ...
