Heritability of the femoral intima media thickness

European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2017
The measurement of femoral intima-media thickness (IMT) is underutilized in the clinical practice, although it is a surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease.388 Hungarian and Italian twins (121 monozygotic, 73 dizygotic pairs) underwent bilateral B-mode sonography of femoral arteries. IMT was measured by semiautomated software, where available, or by

Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Beyond

Current Drug Target -Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders, 2004
Atherosclerosis evolves from the vascular wall. The initial build-up starts at the inner layers of the intima media complex of the artery. To track these phases of the beginning of disease requires a technique that can reliably detect and follow the extent and severity non-invasively over time.

Relationship between leukoaraiosis, carotid intima-media thickness and intima-media thickness variability: Preliminary results

European Radiology, 2016
To assess the relationship between the degree of leukoaraiosis (LA), carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and intima-media thickness variability (IMTV).Sixty-one consecutive patients, who underwent a brain MRI examination and a carotid artery ultrasound, were included in this retrospective study, which conformed with the Declaration of Helsinki ...

SEX DIFFERENCES IN PERIPHERAL ARTERY INTIMA, MEDIA AND INTIMA MEDIA THICKNESS IN CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Atherosclerosis Supplements, 2008
Males have higher coronary heart disease (CHD) lifetime risk and increased magnitude of atherosclerosis, compared with women. Using very high-resolution ultrasound, we have shown that the intima thickness (IT) of radial and dorsal pedal arteries, measured separately from the media thickness (MT), increases with age.

Heart rate variability and intima media thickness

International Journal of Behavioral Medicine, 2006
Increased activity in the sympathetic nervous system is part of the physiological stress response and is expressed in the heart rate variability (HRV). The objective of this study was to examine associations of HRV and intima media thickness (IMT). In 2002, satisfactory measurements of HRV of 78 voluntary participants were made, both during a stress ...

Intima-Media Thickness of Carotid Arteries

2014
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is a validated predictive marker of increased plaque occurrence and the incidence of major cardiovascular events. However, due to technical issues associated with the measurement of CIMT, a well-trained and certified sonographer is needed to overcome causes of variability due to the patient, device, sonographer ...

Reproductive history and carotid intima‐media thickness

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2007
AbstractBackground. Intima‐media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arteries is a valid measure of preclinical atherosclerosis which may predict cardiovascular outcomes. Metabolic and hormonal changes associated with the reproductive history of women may contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Methods.

Carotid intima-media thickness

The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1999
With B-mode ultrasound measurements of the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid arterial wall (asymptomatic) atherosclerosis can be detected. In this article several studies are reviewed in which IMT was used as a surrogate endpoint to assess effects of lipid-lowering or antihypertensive drugs on peripheral atherosclerosis, and the clinical ...

Carotid intima-media thickness for the practicing lipidologist

Journal of Clinical Lipidology, 2010
It is well known that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women in the United States and in many parts of the developed world. However, early detection of atherosclerosis remains a challenging area of research and development. Stress echo and myocardial perfusion studies were not designed to be screening tests and the majority of

Snoring and carotid artery intima‐media thickness

The Laryngoscope, 2014
Objectives/HypothesisA growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep‐disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the ...
