Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is characterized by cardiovascular risk excess not fully explained by traditional factors. Whether the severity of microvascular damage correlates with structural subclinical atherosclerosis remains unclear. We investigated the relationship between nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities and carotid ...

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 ...
