Carotid artery wall hypertrophy with age is related to local systolic blood pressure in healthy men.
Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) increases with advancing age in humans. The underlying mechanism of this increase is unknown, but data from animal studies suggest that a chronic increase in local distending pressure can act as a stimulus. To test this hypothesis, we studied a total of 129 healthy normotensive, nonobese, nonsmoking men aged 18 to 77 years. Brachial systolic blood pre...
متن کاملLack of age-related increase in carotid artery wall viscosity in cardiorespiratory fit men
OBJECTIVES Age-related arterial stiffening and reduction of arterial elasticity are attenuated in individuals with high levels of cardiorespiratory fitness. Viscosity is another mechanical characteristic of the arterial wall; however, the effects of age and cardiorespiratory fitness have not been determined. We examined the associations among age, cardiorespiratory fitness and carotid arterial ...
متن کاملRelation of blood pressure variability to carotid atherosclerosis and carotid artery and left ventricular hypertrophy.
The relationship of blood pressure (BP) variability to cardiovascular target-organ damage is controversial. Studies examining BP variability and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy have been contradictory, and only limited data on the relation of BP variability to carotid atherosclerosis and carotid artery hypertrophy exist. BP variability was assessed as the standard deviation and coefficient of...

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the association of serum adiponectin and a set of traditional cardiovascular risk factors with carotid artery intimal-medial thickness (CIMT) and coronary artery calcium score (CACS), as markers of subclinical atherosclerosis in subjects with early type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: Carotid artery intima- media thickness (measured by B-mode ultrso...
متن کاملEvidence of carotid artery wall hypertrophy in homozygous homocystinuria.
BACKGROUND We aimed to determine whether intima-media thickness (IMT) was increased in the carotid artery of subjects with homocystinuria to better understand the in vivo contribution of homocysteine to early atherogenesis. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated ultrasonographically the right common carotid artery in 14 subjects with homozygous homocystinuria aged 3 to 34 years (mean, 13 years) ...
