Thyroid function and carotid wall thickness.
Decreased serum TSH levels predict vascular mortality in older people. There is a need to investigate mechanisms that could explain this association. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between thyroid function and the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT). The Study of Health in Pomerania is a population-based survey in Germany. Data from 2086 individuals at least 45 yr old ...
متن کاملNeck Circumference, Carotid Wall Intima-Media Thickness, and Incident Stroke
Locally acting fat depots may contribute to obesity complications, in particular vascular disease, through direct paracrine effects (1,2). The carotid arteries are encased in fat, and total upperbody subcutaneous fat is estimated by neck circumference (NC). NC has been independently correlated with cardiometabolic risk factors above and beyond that of other adiposity measures (3,4). Carotid wal...
متن کاملAn automated technique for carotid far wall classification using grayscale features and wall thickness variability.
PURPOSE To test a computer-aided diagnostic method for differentiating symptomatic from asymptomatic carotid B-mode ultrasonographic images. METHODS Our system (called Atheromatic) automatically computed the intima-media thickness (IMT) of the carotid far wall using AtheroEdge, calculated nonlinear features based on higher order spectra, and used these features and IMT and IMT variability (IM...
متن کاملcarotid wall thickness in patients with acute unilateral nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy
purpose: to compare ipsilateral and contralateral carotid wall thickness in patients with acute unilateral non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (naion). methods: this prospective case series included 17 (10 male and 7 female) patients with unilateral naion of less than 8 weeks' duration who underwent b-mode ultrasonography to measure intima-media thickness (imt) in the common c...
متن کاملArterial wall thickness in familial hypercholesterolemia. Ultrasound measurement of intima-media thickness in the common carotid artery.
B-mode ultrasound was used to noninvasively determine wall thickness and lumen diameter in the common carotid artery in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (n = 53) and in a control group (n = 53). The controls were matched for sex, age, height, and weight, and all had a serum cholesterol level below 6.5 mmol/l. The study was performed to evaluate whether the patients had a thicker arte...
