Carotid wall viscosity increase is related to intima-media thickening in hypertensive patients.
Increases in arterial wall viscosity and intima-media thickness (IMT) were found in hypertensive patients. Because smooth muscle cells are responsible for the viscous behavior of the arterial wall and they are involved in the process of thickening of the intima-media complex, this study evaluates the relationship between carotid thickness and wall viscosity. The simultaneous and noninvasive ass...

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 کاملAnxiety is Related to Increased Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Patients with First Acute Myocardial Infarction
Purpose: We examined the association of anxiety and depression with carotid intima media thickness in CAD patients during their hospitalization for acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: A cohort of 74 consecutive patients (age: 59±10, range: 30 to 75 years) with a first episode of myocardial infarction (MI) (64% STEMI and 36% Non STEMI) were included. Mean intima-media thickness (IMT) in c...
متن کاملIncrease in carotid intima-media thickness in grade I hypertensive subjects: white-coat versus sustained hypertension.
We studied 74 never-treated grade I hypertensive subjects aged 18 to 45 years and 20 normotensive control subjects to define the rate of increase in carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and the potential role played by the various risk factors. IMT was assessed as mean IMT and as maximum IMT in the right and left common carotid artery, carotid bulb, and internal carotid artery at baseline and a...
