Carotid intima-media thickening indicates a higher vascular risk across a wide age range: prospective data from the Carotid Atherosclerosis Progression Study (CAPS).
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is an independent predictor of vascular events in age groups >45 years. However, there is little information about the predictive value of IMT in younger individuals. METHODS In the Carotid Atherosclerosis Progression Study (CAPS; n=5056; age range 19 to 90 years; mean age 50.1 years), common carotid artery (CCA) IMT, bifurcation IMT...
متن کاملFlow-induced vascular remodeling in the mouse: a model for carotid intima-media thickening.
OBJECTIVE Vascular remodeling of the carotid artery with intima-media thickness (IMT) is an important predictive factor for human cardiovascular disease. We characterized a mouse model of vascular remodeling. METHODS AND RESULTS The left external and internal carotid branches were ligated so that left carotid blood flow was reduced to flow via the occipital artery. In response to partial liga...
متن کاملRisk 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 کاملUse of carotid intima-media thickness and vascular age to modify cardiovascular risk prediction.
BACKGROUND This study identified predictors of patients for whom carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) measurement and determination of vascular age could change cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment. METHODS We studied consecutive patients who were asymptomatic and nondiabetic, referred for ultrasound measurement of CIMT. Individuals with CIMT 75th percentile or greater for age...
متن کاملVascular age: integrating carotid intima-media thickness measurements with global coronary risk assessment.
BACKGROUND An imaging test that quantifies atherosclerotic burden and that can be integrated with existing risk stratification paradigms would be a very useful clinical tool. HYPOTHESIS Measurement of carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is feasible in a clinical setting. Such measurements can be integrated into coronary risk assessment models. METHODS Carotid intima-media thickness was me...
