Common Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Arterial Stiffness
Background—Common carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and distensibility are markers of structural and functional vessel wall properties. Both parameters have been found in population-based studies to be associated with cardiovascular risk factors and prevalent cardiovascular disease. We investigated cross-sectionally whether IMT and distensibility are associated with cardiovascular risk in pa...
متن کاملCommon Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Lower Extremity Arterial Atherosclerosis
High-resolution B-mode ultrasonography of the carotid arteries is used to investigate the signs of early atherosclerotic vessel wall disease. To assess whether carotid artery findings reflect atherosclerosis elsewhere, we studied the association between common carotid intima-media thickness and lower extremity arterial atherosclerosis among the first 1000 participants of the Rotterdam Study. Th...
متن کاملIncreased carotid intima-media thickness and stiffness in obese children.
O besity in childhood increases the risk of atherosclerotic disease and death in adulthood (1). A dramatic increase in overweight among children and adolescents during the past 2 decades has been documented (2). Moreover, overweight children and adolescents have an increased risk of adult obesity (3). A clustering of factors typical of the insulin resistance syndrome has been identified in 5to ...
متن کاملCarotid intima-media thickness and arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetic patients with and without microangiopathy
INTRODUCTION The aim of the study was to assess carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) as a subclinical marker of atherosclerosis and arterial stiffness in type 1 diabetic patients in relation to microangiopathy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 87 type 1 diabetic patients (44 women, 43 men), median age 34 years (interquartile range [IQR] 29-43), median disease duration 10 years (IQR: 9-14), m...
متن کاملIntima-media Thickness and Arterial Stiffness of Carotid Artery in Korean Patients with Behçet's Disease
Behçet's disease (BD) is a systemic vasculitis involving diverse sizes of arteries and veins. We performed this study to evaluate the vascular changes by assessment of the arterial stiffness and intima-media thickness (IMT) of carotid artery in Korean patients with BD. Forty-one patients with BD and age-, and sex-matched 53 healthy subjects were recruited in this study. Carotid arterial stiffne...
