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 کاملMonitoring the efficacy of omega‐3 supplementation on liver steatosis and carotid intima–media thickness: a pilot study
PURPOSE To determine the effects of omega-3 supplementation on liver fat and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and to assess accuracy of ultrasound (US) for grading liver steatosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this one-way crossover pilot study, we assigned children with obesity and liver steatosis to receive 1.2 g daily of omega-3 supplementation vs. inactive sunflower oil for 24 or 12 weeks...
متن کاملCarotid 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...
متن کاملNateglinide reduces carotid intima-media thickening in type 2 diabetic patients under good glycemic control.
OBJECTIVE Postprandial hyperglycemia observed in type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of strict glycemic control by nateglinide on common carotid far wall intima-media thickness in type 2 diabetic patients who were already under good glycemic control. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed an open labeled randomized prosp...
