Carotid 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 and plaque in cardiovascular risk assessment.
Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) has been shown to predict cardiovascular (CV) risk in multiple large studies. Careful evaluation of CIMT studies reveals discrepancies in the comprehensiveness with which CIMT is assessed-the number of carotid segments evaluated (common carotid artery [CCA], internal carotid artery [ICA], or the carotid bulb), the type of measurements made (mean or maximum ...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness and carotid plaque represent different adaptive responses to traditional cardiovascular risk factors
AIM To assess the effects of each traditional cardiovascular risk factor (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and smoking), including the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), on carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and to assess the degree of carotid plaque occurrence. METHODS A total of 553 outpatients (216 men and 337 women; mean age 67.06 ± 12.44 years) who underwent a ca...
متن کاملCardiovascular Risk Factors and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in a Colombian Population With Psoriasis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Psoriasis is now known to have a clear association with metabolic syndrome and its components. The aim of our study was to determine the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and increased carotid intima-media thickness in psoriasis patients seen in the dermatology department of a quaternary hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS This was a descriptive cross-sect...
متن کاملClustering of cardiovascular risk factors and carotid intima-media thickness: The USE-IMT study
BACKGROUND The relation of a single risk factor with atherosclerosis is established. Clinically we know of risk factor clustering within individuals. Yet, studies into the magnitude of the relation of risk factor clusters with atherosclerosis are limited. Here, we assessed that relation. METHODS Individual participant data from 14 cohorts, involving 59,025 individuals were used in this cross-...
