Acute change in vascular tone alters intima-media thickness.
Atherosclerosis is a lifelong process involving artery wall thickening. Increased wall thickness has been widely adopted as a preclinical surrogate marker of atherosclerosis. A prerequisite for such a surrogate marker is that it is a structural characteristic of the vessel wall that is not subject to acute changes. The purpose of this study was to examine the acute effects of vasodilator drug a...
متن کاملIntima-Media Thickness in Severe Obesity
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with cardiovascular risk and a low-grade inflammatory state in both blood and adipose tissue (AT). Whether inflammation contributes to vascular alteration remains an open question. To test this hypothesis, we measured arterial intima-media thickness (IMT), which reflects subclinical atherosclerosis, in severely obese subjects and explored associations with system...
متن کاملCarotid Intima-Media Thickness in Master Athletes
BACKGROUND 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. OBJECTIVES Our study aims to examine this aspect especially in the absence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors. PATIENT...

متن کاملClinical impact of Intima-Media Thickness measurement
The Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) as measured by ultrasonography of carotid arteries is an acknowledged non-invasive method for assessing the impact of vascular risk factors and the progression of cardiovascular disease. The average of the far wall IMT of the common carotid artery (CIMT) from right and left sides is most frequently used. It correlates well with histology and it is a precursor ph...
