Serum amyloid A in children and adolescents: association with overweight and carotid intima-media thickness

Einstein (São Paulo), 2023
Objective To compare serum amyloid A concentrations between overweight and eutrophic children and adolescents and to relate it to lipid profiles, glucose tolerance, and carotid intima-media thickness. Methods One hundred children and adolescents (mean

Imaging of atherosclerosis: carotid intima-media thickness [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2010
Carotid ultrasound provides quantitative measurements of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) that can be used to assess cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in individuals and monitor ongoing disease progression and regression in clinical trials. It is non-invasive, rapid, reproducible, and carries no risk.

Serum phosphorus levels are associated with carotid intima-media thickness in asymptomatic postmenopausal women [PDF]

, 2020
Objective: Serum phosphorous is a significant risk factor for increased carotid intima-media thickness. Increased thickness of the carotid intima is a known cause of cardiovascular disease.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness as a Surrogate Endpoint

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2011
We read with great interest the recently published meta-analysis by Costanzo et al. ([1][1]) investigating whether changes in carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) affect major cardiovascular endpoints, including cardiovascular-related and all-cause mortality.

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from the CHARGE consortium identifies common variants associated with carotid intima media thickness and plaque [PDF]

, 2011
Carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and plaque determined by ultrasonography are established measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that each predicts future cardiovascular disease events.

Carotid-artery intima and media thickness as a risk factor for myocardial infarction and stroke in older adults. Cardiovascular Health Study Collaborative Research Group.

New England Journal of Medicine, 1999
BACKGROUND The combined thickness of the intima and media of the carotid artery is associated with the prevalence of cardiovascular disease. We studied the associations between the thickness of the carotid-artery intima and media and the incidence of new

Long-Term Blood Pressure Variability in Young Adulthood and Coronary Artery Calcium and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Midlife

HYPERTENSION, 2020
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Recent evidence links long-term (visit-to-visit) blood pressure (BP) variability to the risk of cardiovascular disease, independent of mean BP levels.

Analysis of the Effect of Atherosclerosis with the Changes of Hematocrit: A Computational Study on the Hemodynamics of Carotid Artery [PDF]

2020 2nd International Conference on Advanced Information and Communication Technology (ICAICT) (pp. 336-341). IEEE, 2021
Atherosclerosis is a state wherein plaque (fat, cholesterol, and different substances) develops inside the veins that in the end prompts carotid artery stenosis which is a phase of narrowing in the huge courses situated on either side of the neck that convey blood to the brain, face, and head.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients with Psoriasis [PDF]

The Open Dermatology Journal, 2021
Introduction: Since the early 20th century, findings have demonstrated that psoriasis is frequently associated with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular diseases. The Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (CIMT) is a surrogate marker of atherosclerotic vascular disease.
