Rough Set Based Approach for IMT Automatic Estimation [PDF]

, 2012
Carotid artery (CA) intima-media thickness (IMT) is commonly deemed as one of the risk marker for cardiovascular diseases. The automatic estimation of the IMT on ultrasound images is based on the correct identification of the lumen-intima (LI) and media ...

Methotrexate use, not interleukin 33, is associated with lower carotid intima-media thickness in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Advances in Rheumatology, 2019
Background Rheumatoid arthritis is a risk factor for early mortality due to cardiovascular disease. Interleukin-33 appears to protect against the development of atherosclerosis.

Carotid Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Impairment in Nonstroke Patients

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Objective: As a vascular risk factor, carotid atherosclerosis is crucial to cognitive impairment. While carotid intima-media thickness, carotid artery plaque, and carotid stenosis can reflect carotid atherosclerosis in different stages, this review aimed

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.

Carotid intima-media thickness is increased in patients with mucopolysaccharidoses [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2011
The feasibility of carotid artery intima-media thickness (C-IMT), an established cardiovascular disease marker, as a cardiac risk marker in mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) patients was explored.To determine if C-IMT is abnormal in MPS versus unaffected controls, and if C-IMT correlates with coronary artery diameter in MPS.Measurements of C-IMT via neck ...

Socioeconomic position in childhood and adult cardiovascular risk factors, vascular structure, and function: cardiovascular risk in Young Finns study [PDF]

, 2005
Objective: To examine the association of childhood socioeconomic position (SEP) with adult cardiovascular risk factors, vascular structure, and vascular function in a contemporary population of young adults. Design: Population based prospective cohort

Arterial thickness measurements on high-resolution ultrasonography in diabetics with and without macrovascular complications and their relationship with homocysteine level

BMC Endocrine Disorders
Background Pathological changes in the arterial vasculature play a pivotal role in the development of macrovascular and microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). Compared with traditional measurements of carotid artery intima-media thickness,

Carotid intima-media thickness as a biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis

Swiss Medical Weekly, 2012
Intima-media thickness of the carotid artery (CIMT) and its increase is associated with several cardiovascular risk factors and manifest cardiovascular diseases. CIMT is suggested to be an important biomarker of subclinical atherosclerosis. CIMT is measured in B-mode ultrasound images of the carotid tree as a typical double line of the arterial ...

Carotid intima–media thickness and the prediction of vascular events [PDF]

Vascular Medicine, 2012
Carotid intima–media thickness (cIMT) has received interest as a predictor of cardiovascular events in recent years. Use of cIMT in a clinical setting is limited by the variability in measurement and the lack of evidence for its use in clinical risk prediction.

The Effect of Radioiodine on the Intima Media Thickness of the Carotid Artery

Malecular Imaging and Radionuclide Therapy, 2013
The radiation can induce vessel injury. The result of this injury can be severe and life-threatening. There are a few studies demonstrating an increase in intima-media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery (CCA) after radiotherapy, especially in head and neck cancers.
