Intima-Media Thickness: Setting a Standard for a Completely Automated Method of Ultrasound Measurement [PDF]
, 2010 The intima - media thickness (IMT) of the common carotid artery is a widely used clinical marker of severe cardiovascular diseases. IMT is usually manually measured on longitudinal B-Mode ultrasound images.

Reduced Atherosclerotic Burden in Subjects With Genetically Determined Low Oxidative Stress [PDF]
, 2013 Objective-NADPH oxidase, one of the most important enzymes producing reactive oxidant species, is suggested to play a role in experimental atherosclerosis, but its role in human atherosclerosis is still unclear. We hypothesized that a reduced activity of

Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes [PDF]
Asian Journal of Sports Medicine, 2015 Carotid Intima Media Thickness (IMT) is currently used to assess the relationship between progression of coronary and systemic atherosclerosis. To date, however, the possible impact of regular physical activity (PA) on this parameter has not been well estimated.Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk ...

Hubungan Kadar Apolipoprotein B Dengan Aterosklerosis Arteri Karotis Interna Pada Pasien Pasca Stroke Iskemik [PDF]
, 2011 Background: Ischemic stroke is caused by brain artery obstruction or narrowing called atherosclerosis. Its marker is the thickness of tunica intima-media (intima-media thickness / IMT) of the artery. Apolipoprotein B is the indicator of atherosclerosis
