Metformin for non-diabetic patients with coronary heart disease (the CAMERA study): a randomised controlled trial [PDF]

, 2009
<br>Background: Metformin reduces cardiovascular risk in patients with type 2 diabetes seemingly independent of lowering blood glucose concentration. We assessed the cardiovascular effects of metformin in individuals without type 2 diabetes.</br&

Progression of endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and arterial stiffness in stable kidney transplant patients: a pilot study. [PDF]

, 2020
BACKGROUND: Kidney transplant patients suffer from vascular abnormalities and high cardiovascular event rates, despite initial improvements post-transplantation. The nature of the progression of vascular abnormalities in the longer term is unknown.

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.

Ultrasound IMT measurement on a multi-ethnic and multi-institutional database: Our review and experience using four fully automated and one semi-automated methods [PDF]

, 2012
Automated and high performance carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement is gaining increasing importance in clinical practice to assess the cardiovascular risk of patients. In this paper, we compare four fully automated IMT measurement techniques

The relationship between Intima-Media Thickness and Carotid Plaque Characteristics with Incidence and Severity of Premature Coronary Artery Disease

Novelty in Biomedicine, 2023
Background: Carotid intima media thickness (CIMT) and carotid plaque can predict premature coronary heart disease (PCAD) in patients hospitalized due to coronary artery disease or undergoing therapeutic interventions.

Fully automated segmentation and tracking of the intima media thickness in ultrasound video sequences of the common carotid artery [PDF]

, 2013
—The robust identification and measurement of the intima media thickness (IMT) has a high clinical relevance because it represents one of the most precise predictors used in the assessment of potential future cardiovascular events.

Effects of smoking and cessation on subclinical arterial disease: a substudy of a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The mechanisms by which smoking cessation reduces cardiovascular disease risk are unclear. We evaluated longitudinal changes in carotid intima-media thickness among current smokers enrolled in a prospective, randomized smoking cessation clinical trial ...

Heritability of carotid intima-media thickness: A twin study [PDF]

Atherosclerosis, 2008
To estimate the heritability of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis, independent of traditional coronary risk factors.We performed a classical twin study of carotid IMT using 98 middle-aged male twin pairs, 58 monozygotic (MZ) and 40 dizygotic (DZ) pairs, from the Vietnam Era Twin Registry.

Intima-Media Thickness: Setting a Standard for a Completely Automated Method of Ultrasound Measurement [PDF]

, 2010
The intima - media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery is a widely used clinical marker of severe cardiovascular diseases. IMT is usually manually measured on longitudinal B-Mode ultrasound images.
