Intima-Media Thickness in Severe Obesity
OBJECTIVE Obesity is associated with cardiovascular risk and a low-grade inflammatory state in both blood and adipose tissue (AT). Whether inflammation contributes to vascular alteration remains an open question. To test this hypothesis, we measured arterial intima-media thickness (IMT), which reflects subclinical atherosclerosis, in severely obese subjects and explored associations with system...

متن کاملClinical impact of Intima-Media Thickness measurement
The Intima-Media Thickness (IMT) as measured by ultrasonography of carotid arteries is an acknowledged non-invasive method for assessing the impact of vascular risk factors and the progression of cardiovascular disease. The average of the far wall IMT of the common carotid artery (CIMT) from right and left sides is most frequently used. It correlates well with histology and it is a precursor ph...
متن کاملSnoring and carotid artery intima-media thickness.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS A growing body of evidence indicates that primary snoring (PS) may be the initial presentation of sleep-disordered breathing and can adversely affect an individual's health. Individuals with the sole diagnosis of PS were evaluated to determine if a relationship exists between snoring and thickening of the intima media of the carotid arteries. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional...
