Is carotid artery intima-media thickening a reliable marker of early atherosclerosis?
BACKGROUND It is widely believed that carotid artery intima-media thickening represents an early marker for the development of atheroma. However, carotid intima-media thickening might also be expected to occur in response to an increased tensile stress and decreased wall shear stress which may accompany physical exercise. DESIGN, METHODS, AND RESULTS In order to test this hypothesis 24 athlet...
متن کاملSubclinical atherosclerosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis by utilizing carotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate marker
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are more prone for accelerated atherosclerosis and Asian Indians as an ethnic group are predisposed to a high risk of premature atherosclerosis. However, sparse data are available regarding the burden of atherosclerosis among asymptomatic adult patients with RA in south India. We studied the burden of asymptomatic atherosclerosis i...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate endpoint.
1. CIMT is not a standardized technology. Their meta-regression included studies with different imaging and measurement techniques. By grouping them, the authors created a null bias. Furthermore, some laboratories have highly reproducible techniques and excellent quality assurance procedures. Those laboratories have reliably reported strong relationships between changes in CVD risk factors, cha...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness as a surrogate marker of cardiovascular disease in diabetes
BACKGROUND Diabetes mellitus is associated with a high risk of cardiovascular disease. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is increasingly used as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. Its use relies on its ability to predict future clinical cardiovascular end points. METHODS This review examines the evidence linking CIMT as a surrogate marker of vascular complications in people with type...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness as a marker of atherosclerosis in hemodialysis patients.
Atherosclerotic changes in carotid arteries of hemodialysis (HD) patients reflect global atherosclerotic changes in vasculature. Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) can be used for atherosclerosis prediction and assessment of cardiovascular risks in HD patients, and thus screening high-risk patients. In this cross-sectional study, CIMT was measured using ultrasonography (B-mode with 5-10-MHz ...
