Computationally efficient algorithm for the estimation of the intimamedia thickness of the common carotid artery
In this paper we propose a new computationally efficient algorithm for automatic estimation of intima and media boundary of common carotid artery (CCA) based on ultrasound (USG) image analysis. The intima-media thickness (IMT), equal to distance between intima and media boundary, is typically used to predict cardiovascular events like myocardial infarction and stroke. At present, it is measured...
متن کامل[Carotid intima-media thickness in diabetics and hypertensive patients].
The aims of this study are to describe the mean values of carotid intima-media thickness and how it increases with age, and to compare carotid injury in diabetics and hypertensive patients with that of controls. We included 562 subjects (121 diabetics, 352 hypertensive patients, 89 controls). The mean intima-media thickness was 0.781 mm in diabetics, 0.738 mm in hypertensive patients and 0.686 ...
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 کاملBiglycan expression in hypertensive subjects with normal or increased carotid intima-media wall thickness.
BACKGROUND Biglycan (BGN), an extracellular matrix proteoglycan, has been shown to convey pro-inflammatory signals. In the present study we investigated BGN expression and its correlation with plasma levels of inflammatory markers in hypertensive subjects with or without alteration of carotid intima media thickness (IMT). METHODS We evaluated 123 untreated essential hypertensives with no addi...
