Carotid intima-media Thickness and Cardiovascular Risk
Future Cardiology, 2011Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of death in most developed nations. Identifying an individual's cardiovascular risk remains a challenge. Traditional coronary-risk stratification is based on cardiovascular risk factors using risk score systems, which may not reliably identify atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individuals.

Carotid intima-media thickness
The Netherlands Journal of Medicine, 1999With 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 testing: technical considerations
Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography, 2004Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) refers to the combined thickness of the intimal and medial layers of the carotid arterial wall. High-resolution (7.5 MHz) B-mode ultrasound permits visualization of the blood-intima and media-adventitia boundaries in the carotid arteries, allowing CIMT to be measured.

Carotid intima‐media thickness in Parkinson's disease
Movement Disorders, 2007AbstractThere have been a few studies and inconsistent results regarding the coincidence of Parkinson's disease (PD) and atherosclerotic diseases, such as cerebrovascular disease. Carotid intima‐media thickness (IMT) is a known marker for subclinical atherosclerosis.

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness
Ultrasound Quarterly, 2009Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) measurements are now recognized as a surrogate measure of atherosclerosis. The measurement is performed on high-resolution ultrasound images of the carotid artery at the level of the carotid bifurcation. Increased IMT values indicate a higher likelihood of having had a stroke or myocardial infarction.

Intima media thickness in children undergoing dialysis
Pediatric Nephrology, 2012Uremic vasculopathy, including vascular calcification, increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. We have investigated the prevalence and factors associated with vasculopathy in children undergoing peritoneal dialysis (PD) or hemodialysis (HD) in a single center.Common carotid intima media ...

Intima-Media Thickness of Carotid Arteries
2014Carotid 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 ...

Snoring and carotid artery intima‐media thickness
The Laryngoscope, 2014Objectives/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 ...

Heritability of the femoral intima media thickness
European Journal of Internal Medicine, 2017The 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
