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 artery Doppler ultrasonography in patients with chronic kidney disease
BACKGROUND We investigated the changes in the values of carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and Doppler index measurements in the autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), peritoneal dialysis (PD), and hemodialysis (HD) patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty outpatients on HD (mean age 46.1 ± 16.4), 27 outpatients on PD (mean age 45 ± 12.4), and 26 normotensive outpatients with AD...
متن کاملis common carotid intima media thickness an independent predictor for coronary artery disease
abstract introduction: non-invasive measurement of carotid intima media thickness (imt) has been noted as a marker for atherosclerosis and can serve as a predictor of cardiovascular accidents. the present study investigates the relationship between carotid imt and coronary artery disease (cad). method: this is a descriptive, analytical cross-sectional study of 300 individuals referring to isfah...
متن کاملCommon Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness Segmentation Survey
--The ultrasound imaging is very popular to diagnosis the disease because of its non-invasive nature. The ultrasound imaging slowly produces low quality images due to the presence of spackle noise and wave interferences. There are several algorithms to be proposed for the segmentation of ultrasound carotid artery images but it requires a certain limit of user interaction. The pixel in an image ...

Common Carotid Artery Intima-Media Thickness: Towards a Definition of Abnormal Values in Symptomatic Cerebrovascular Disease To the Editor: We welcome the recent article by Tsivgoulis and colleagues showing that higher values of common carotid artery intimamedia thickness (CCA-IMT) may represent an independent risk factor for stroke recurrence.1 We reached the same conclusion after carrying out...
