The importance of the relation between asymptomatic carotid atherosclerotic lesions, stroke, and coronary atherosclerosis has been widely discussed, but there are few transversal and longitudinal studies on a general population. ...
متن کاملThe Association between Within-Visit Blood Pressure Variability and Carotid Artery Atherosclerosis in General Population
OBJECTIVES To determine whether within-visit blood pressure (BP) variability based on three measurements over minutes is associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaque in a general population. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was performed in 2007, and a total of 1222 Beijing community residents aged 50-79 years belonging to part of the Chinese Multi-Provincial Coho...

متن کاملDeterminants of carotid atherosclerosis in the general Mongolian population.
OBJECTIVE Atherosclerotic risk factors contribute to carotid atherosclerosis. Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT), as assessed using a non-invasive high-resolution ultrasound, can predict cardiovascular disease (CVD). Whereas the control of CVD is crucial for the Mongolian people, the studies on carotid atherosclerosis are lacking. The present population-based survey was a cross-sectional inve...
