Carotid Intima–Media Thickness

Journal of the Anatomical Society of India, 2022
Introduction: Stroke is the second leading cause of death globally, with more than 85% of deaths from stroke occurring in developing countries. It is also reported as the major sequel of head and neck irradiation and has not received the attention it deserves.

Carotid intima–media thickness

Journal of Cardiovascular Medicine, 2006
In advanced countries the incidence of cardiovascular diseases is constantly increasing. During the last century many resources were employed to investigate atherosclerosis in relation to the main risk factors and to modification of lifestyles. Technologies have been developed to identify atherosclerosis in the sub-clinical phase.

Mannheim Intima-Media Thickness Consensus

Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2004
Intima-media thickness (IMT) is increasingly used in clinical trials as a surrogate end point for determining the success of interventions that lower risk factors for atherosclerosis. The necessity for unified criteria to distinguish early atherosclerotic plaque formation from thickening of IMT and to standardize IMT measurements is addressed in this ...

Genetics of intima-media thickness

Current Opinion in Lipidology, 2003
Increased carotid artery intima-media thickness is associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease or cerebrovascular disease and is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular outcomes. Consequently, the measurement is now used in a number of case control, cohort and familial and linkage studies as an intermediate phenotype ...

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 ...

Carotid Intima-media Thickness

American Journal of Therapeutics, 2014
Evidence-based medicine requires us to use pharmacological agents that have been tested and that have been showed to reduce the disease in that particular group of affected patients. The choice of the efficacy endpoint is one of the most controversial issues in designing the trials.

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 ...

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 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.
