Vascular diameter and intima-media thickness to diameter ratio values of the carotid artery in 642 healthy children [PDF]
European Journal of Pediatrics, 2020 In children, arterial alterations occur with increased intima-media thickness as well as vascular diameter enlargement. Both conditions correlate with higher cardiovascular risk in adults, and both the array and proportion of these alterations are ...
