Carotid Intima-media Thickness
American Journal of Therapeutics, 2014Evidence-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.

Atherosclerosis represents a cardiovascular risk. Chronic inflammation is a key factor for atherogenic progression. Neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been proposed as a novel biomarker for cardiovascular risks.

Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Beyond
Current Drug Target -Cardiovascular & Hematological Disorders, 2004Atherosclerosis 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.

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.

Reproductive history and carotid intima‐media thickness
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2007AbstractBackground. 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.

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 ...

The American Journal of Cardiology, 2002
Multiple studies have shown that the carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), as measured noninvasively by ultrasonography, is directly associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Because it has been shown to be an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease after adjustment for traditional risk factors, it is the only ...

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.

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 ...

Carotid and Femoral Artery Intima-Media Thickness During 6 Months of Spaceflight.
Aerospace Medicine and Human Performance, 2016INTRODUCTION The objective was to determine the effects of 6 mo of microgravity exposure on conduit artery diameter and wall thickness. METHODS Diagnostic images of the common carotid artery (CC) and superficial femoral artery (FA) were obtained using ...
