Risk factors of carotid plaque and carotid common artery intima‐media thickening in a high‐stroke‐risk population
Introduction To analyze the risk factors of carotid plaque (CP) and carotid common artery intima-media thickening (CCAIMT) and the association between the risk factors and CP numbers and the side of the CCAIMT in a high-stroke-risk population. Methods Carotid ultrasonography was conducted in 2025 participants with high stroke risk. Participants were divided into different groups according to ...
متن کاملIs 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 کاملCarotid artery Intima-Media thickness and cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients
Introduction: Common carotid artery intima-media thickness (CCA-IMT) correlates with cardiovascular mortality in patients under hemodialysis. In this investigation, we evaluated relationship between CCA-IMT with dependent and independent cardiovascular risk factors in chronic hemodialysis patients. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 51 chronic hemodialysis patients, (31 males and 20 fema...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness in the Spanish population: reference ranges and association with cardiovascular risk factors.
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES Carotid intima-media thickness as measured with ultrasonography is an inexpensive and noninvasive predictor of cardiovascular events. The objectives of this study were to determine the population reference ranges of carotid intima-media thickness for individuals aged 35-84 years in Spain and to analyze the association of carotid intima-media thickness with cardiovasc...
متن کاملبررسی نقش کبد چرب بر خطر بیماری‌های قلبی- عروقی از طریق اندازه‌گیری ضخامت انتیمامدیای شریان کاروتید
Background and Aim: A lot of studies is done about various components of the metabolic syndrome in association with non-alcoholic fatty liver due to increasing carotid intima media thickness as a risk factor of cardiovascular diseases. But few studies have been done on the role of non-alcoholic fatty liver as an independent risk factor for carotid intima media thickening. The present stud...
